    84, Charing Cross Rd is absolutely delightful. you read it in a heartbeat and wish it would never end...alas!, it is shorter than you had imagined and it soon leaves you desperate for more. but then you turn the page, and stumble upon The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street, HH's account of her coveted first visit to London, and you are most thankful to her for having kept a diary.

    a gem not to be missed.

    Indoubtly I loved the romantic idea of two people connecting through books, mailing each other in unique handwrited letters, personalizing each with a bit of themshelves. It was such a pleasurable reading that I highly recommend it for anyone, specially if you can get a paperback and carry it in a travel. i consider it a really good story...

    Me encantó la idea romántica de este libro de dos personas conectando a través de la compra de libros y una correspondencia ya perdida en medio del caos multimedia de hoy día. Sin duda una lectura amena y altamente recomendable.

    A sweet and wonderful reading, it's ideal for book lovers! It makes you feel the sensation of fine book paper in your hand....And what about the bookshop? You can really imagine the tall shelves with their treasures..Love for books is the key of the friendship between Helen and Frank, in spite of their different cultural background: this reminds me of all the friends I knew thanks to bookcrossing :)
    There is also a very nice film from the book, I loved it too, Anthony Hopkins is a charming Frank Doel, I hope you all can see it.

  • 前半部84 charing cross road,隔著大西洋素未謀面的一男一女因書結緣,將近二十年書信往來,情真意切。但一不留神,以為安在的人和事也不得不曳然而止。後半部the duchess of bloomsbury street是作者對遺憾遲來的補償。倫敦之行終於成行,但物是人非,亦不得不只好如此。若非書信能結集出版帶來收入,她也根本無法成行。個多月的倫敦精華遊,算是一償夙願。作者雖沒有明說,但字裏行間感到一種不枉此生的氛圍。可貴的是,這都不是杜撰的故事,而是實實在在的存在過。此時此刻,單純而美好的人和事還有人寫得出嗎?

  • 能夠一起讀原著與譯本真是很有趣的事, 彷彿和書友(呵呵, 冒昧啦) 同步討論自己對語句的詮釋. 每個人對文字的感受都不同 - 不管是說的讀的聽的都一樣, 有時拍手叫好, 有時蹙眉反對. 讀書的樂趣不就在此嗎!
