A bibliophile's paradise

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...
