Enjoyed this! A slice of humanity. Caught myself saying "I've had this thought before, on the bus/train," on more than one occasion

This book already had a special place in my heart from the moment my eye fell on it. That was last week, in a bookshop in Paris, my favorite city.

I consciously read this book in different places; on the couch, in the bus or train, in bed... I loved it. It made me chuckle and it made me sad. Some parts truly touched me, gave me goosebumps, made me stop and think for a moment.

However small and light-hearted this book may seem, it has left its mark on me and I shall now (literally) carry it with me so that I can return to its pages whenever, wherever.

(* Note to self: try out metro (tram/train) poetry)

Currently reading. Vignettes of life on the bus. Forty pages in and already several passages in which the outfits of other women are found lacking, without any insight proffered.
After finishing: The last two entries really make the book.
