So fun to read this , Anne! As you described the way you cast your net, I recognized it as a method I've inadvertently adopted. Fiction, non-fiction, biography, essays; there's great possibility in it all. You make a good point or two about the way different genres grab your attention--or not. (I'm not much for mystery's or romance). I think I'd like sci-fi more if I knew how to negotiate the vast offerings. But in general I walk all the aisles and shoot from the hip. You never know what you'll find! 😀
Quel plaisir de lire ton voyage livresque chez Powells .. j’aimerais bien m’y perdre un jour. Faut que je relise Jean Rhys. Et j’aimerais aussi voir une copie de Murs Révoltés- tu écris si bien.. bon voyage de retour à Grenoble!
That's an amazing marathon! I'm imagining the discipline of buying books by weight. A beautiful French poem for you: http://www.ipoesie.org/automnemaladeetadore
Indeed! Thank you for the poem!

What a wonderful seven hours that must have been!
I’m putting this place on my bucket list.
( I was pleased to see you bought that copy of Wide Sargasso Sea. The cover of my copy was almost as perplexing.)
Haha I’ll be excited to see your cover
"there's great possibility in it all," so true! That's what I love about reading.
