Second Hand Bookshops in Reading.
I have a book habit, this is first my confession for the day. Upon arriving at reading I couldn t help but seek the second hand bookshops in town. As far as I could gather there seem to be only three, two of which are charity shops specialising in books. The Oxfam bookshop had a good selection of fiction. The art section was pretty thin and somewhat overpriced. I found a French comic book that I use to really like as a child, its called Idée Noire or Dark Thoughts by Franquin and relates some dark fantasies of a twisted mind. The cartoon I included speaks for itself. Another bookshop is the British Heart Foundation that didn’t seem to have any art, when I asked for the art shelve someone lead me to the back of the shop where voluntary staff was clearly struggling to manage with the mountain of books that were arriving at the shop and accumulating at the back. The second confession for the day would be to say what book I got there but I will leave that sensitive information for later.Patrick the French book is for you.
Sally I am sorry I missed the 10.54 from Reading yesterday I was engrossed in an intense browsing session in reading bookshop. Let s make it same time next week or send me a mail to let me know when you re travelling.
