Half Way up the Stairs

These are enough for now...
I'll start with "The Flâneur"
but I'm also curious about the ones at the top of the stairs, Steve

Yes, that’s a good place to start: Edmund White’s urbane and witty tour of literary Paris. An ideal guidebook.

A book is a man's best friend, and a library is a temple of his thoughts.

→ have a successful week, Steve !

Je me contente du Premier livre qui attire mon attention en attendant d'escalader pour le reste.
Bonne et heureuse semaine paisible et reposante.

It’s a dangerous climb, Malik: there are great cliffs and land slips of books further on up the stairs.

A very nice place to sit down and chill out, innit?

It is. As somebody said:’There isn’t any other place quite like it.’

Half way down the stairs!

We rise and fall, growing wearier each time…

:)

Full bookcases on half-landings is evidence of civilisation, whereas china cabinets, unless empty or occupied by library overspill, suggests the opposite. There are some interesting titles amongst your books. Someday I'm going to write some of them.

Don’t leave it too late.
