This morning, I set out to discover the legendary Brussels second hand bookshop,
Pele Mele and, boy, did I discover it. 'Cavernous' doesn't do it justice. High shelves stacked with books of every genre, edition and format with a vast selection in English. Serious fellow bibliophiles with baskets full of classic and contemporary literature.
In my own basket was:
- Aminata Forna, Memory of Love
- Andrea Levy, Small Island
- Zadie Smith, On Beauty
- Aravind Adiga, The White Tiger
- Hisham Matar, In The Country of Men
- Karen Blixen, Out of Africa
- Greg Mortenson, Three Cups of Tea
...all for the paltry sum of
just €13! And hardly a cracked spine in sight! I fear a
love affair is just beginning...
