Ikusa Otome Valkyrie 2 3

book corner Diedorf

the link of the week tomorrow. Here is a small report on a very pleasant evening.
For over 16 years, there are Diedorf west of Augsburg, a small but important book store, which ensures the supply of the total land area. There are regular readings and other events, there is a small catalog and a website with dates and book recommendations: http://www.buchecke-diedorf.de/ . The whole thing has a good reputation, and I had long been the desire to read there once. Yesterday it was so so far - I was invited to present in "Goethe's execution. Analyn and I went there on the train were much too early, we worried in a bakery donuts, croissants and rolls (all very good!) And ate at a Bus stop for dinner. At half past seven we were on the spot. The bookstore is run by three very nice women who had invited their husbands, daughters and other relatives is likely, but it was otherwise an interested and how to remember I soon engaged audience there. Although the store at first glance very small effect, many people place - the shelves, between which they would otherwise, are on wheels and can be pushed to the side, and from the back room chairs are taken - no Taizé-stool, as otherwise they are often seen, but really comfortable chair. I got such a comfortable chair, plus an original red table (a quarter of a round Table, in red, matching the name "Book Corner"), but since my voice while sitting not just space-filling, I finally put forward in standing, first one passage from the life of Joan, cautiously, looking at the faces - was the text good at, I had the feeling. You notice even the mood, even if nobody says anything. So I read this passage even more scenes, then another, from the life of Goethe, as a contrast. I could now stay in the front part of the book, but I felt curiosity, people sent signals somehow, perhaps through body language or by their faces - I had the feeling that they could use some more Tobacco - So I read something from the last quarter, not the execution scene, but the last meal, a grotesque, in which I describe as judge, executioner and priest with the delinquent sit at the table and eat. Then a couple of questions came from the audience, it was not the usual "what the poet is thinking", but questions that revealed that people had been listening very carefully. A nice crowd, a pleasant reading and a bookshop, which shows that it pays not to buy over the Internet, but personally on site.

The lighting - for customers and for Reading - excellent at any point in the store. Finding the rare!
