A must for me every time in London is visiting a bookstore, but this time I decided not to. Main reason being that I already have way too many books waiting to be read. Also with having so many unread books it has made me buy the same book twice. Sort of embarrassing, but I just don’t remember a book if I haven’t read it.
Getting through security at Heathrow quite fast on Thursday morning I suddenly had more time on my hand than expected and after my usual grande latte at Caffe Italia I wandered next door to Borders. Just to have look. Sure right…
A couple of minutes later I had already decided I was going to buy Life’s pitch by Stephen Bayley and Roger Mavity. The saying on the cover had me immediately - How to be businesslike with your emotional life and emotional with your business life.
Next to the business section was the history section and right in front of me was London the biography by Peter Ackroyd on display. A book I’ve looked at several times, but the book has always been in hardcover and with a +800 pages that is not something one put in a suitcase. This time though it was a paperback issue so right there and then I decided to buy it as well
I could easily have browsed around some more, but knowing myself that was not a good idea. And besides that I had a flight to catch back to Sweden.
