Dieses Buch fühlt sich ein bisschen an wie dem weißen Kaninchen zu folgen, das Haken schlägt und kaum einzuholen ist. Wunderbar schräg, mit Nachwirkung und dem Potential zum Wiederlesen.

Ein Buch, das in den Gedanken nachhaltig. Mit einer oberflächlichen lustigen Ebene...und einer sehr viel tiefer liegenden...

Favorite Quotes: - "I am a loneliness savant, a word which here means that loneliness comes naturally to me, so I am quite good at loneliness, if I do say so myself. I like to think about lonely things, poems and philosophy and sad songs I admire, and places and people I do not know, or will never see again." - "We must read mysterious literature, and be as bewildered by it as we are by the world, and we should write down our ideas, turning our stories, as if by magic, into literature." - "It is why a favorite book feels like an old friend and a new acquaintance at the same time, and the reason a favorite author can be a familiar figure and a mysterious stranger all at once." - "When you apologize, it is a bit like reaching the last page of a book. The book is still there, with your wicked deed inside, but at least it is closed and put on a shelf." - "If you enter a library looking for a particularly quiet place to read, head straight for the philosophy section. Because no one likes to read philosophy, no one will be there, and you will be undisturbed to read, to write or just to think and keep watch, as I do and have always done."
