Nato come
To drown a rose in tempi di anonimato in rete, esterofilia e manifesti programmatici, questo archivio resta un inventario di cose lette sentite viste pensate che attira insperato traffico da google su argomenti balzani, e che ogni tanto, in modo un po’ horror, tende a rianimarsi.

sleeping in the stuffy upstairs rooms of shakespeare & co. in paris (lovely place in a great location, but by no means a great bookshop, this should be said).

Gatto nero in una libreria: non posso farci niente ma mi viene in mente subito lei in questo film con il fido Cagliostro!
Very very true. It’s a shame because it feels like you should like it as it is such a famous institution, but there’s something about the attitude and the prices that always leaves me feeling disappointed.
Gorgeous cat though.
you and katherine are perfectly right, shakespeare & co. may be a nice place, still preserves a kind of “charme” (http://www.flickr.com/photos/giulia_/17602154/), but it is not a good bookshop, i guess it is partly due to the shopkeeper who is kina trashy…
