01/12/2014 - Books

It's not like I'm a bookworm.
However I like to pretend.
There are times when I don't even touch a book for months.
And than there are times when I can't be stopped.


Most of my books I find at a local bookstore in Kreuzberg 
(a neighborhood in Berlin were I used to live for 2 years).
It is a second-hand bookstore 
and they donate part of their earnings to a nonprofit organization in the neighborhood.


And so I buy books.
And I keep buying.
I buy more books than I read.
There are probably about 10 books in my shelf I haven't touched yet.
I just like to own them - knowing that I will read them someday

On top of my list are classics:
everything Jane Austen wrote or Charles Dickens,
To Kill a Mockingbird, The Cider House Rules

and of course Harry Potter.



One day I wish to have a library - and to have read most of the books it contains.



PS: Pictured are my parents bookshelves. They already own a library :)
