Finished reading one short novel from Stephan Zweig's book: "Buchmendel" (Mendel The Book Dealer).
I love the story and wish to be at that café and have a conversation with someone like Mendel.

Yes, I confess: I'm a bookoholic
But I'm not ashamed: got two Jules Verne's classic books:
• From The Earth To The Moon
• Around The World in 80 Days
I have more busy days to spend reading!

Surrey, B.C.'s biggest school district, drops 4 books from recommended school reading list.

Teachers can still use the four books, she said, but within the school district's guidelines that also call for the teaching of the historical and social context of the #Literature.
