I only discovered him a few months ago when I picked up his "Tagebuch eines Lesers" (A Reading Diary) at my local library. It was instant love! :) His addiction to books and reading is showing in each line. I recently finished "Die Bibliothek bei Nacht" (The Library at Night) and it was exactly the same.santurini@reading buddyhttp://santurini.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434302889299955261.post-7118103302183545842011-08-18T20:23:12.296+01:002011-08-18T20:23:12.296+01:00Hi Kevin And thanks for your comment, Manguel'...Hi Kevin And thanks for your comment, Manguel's one of those writers that you can & should luxuriate in. this Man's a readers reader & a writers writer.@parridhlanternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12793548943992250238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434302889299955261.post-60033141722534651422011-08-18T09:33:58.190+01:002011-08-18T09:33:58.190+01:00Interesting blog and another well recommended book...Interesting blog and another well recommended book.
