HARK! RAMBLINGS AND RANDOMNESS OF A BIBLIOPHILE
Reading nooks with views of the hip Shimokitazawa neighbourhood in Tokyo, Japan
A quick hop from Shibuya and Shinjuku, Shimokitazawa is a nice change of pace from the craziness of the big city. We stumbled upon this little shop selling books and curiosities with seating areas where one can take in the scene over a cuppa, and feel safe about burying one’s face in a book and being lost in thoughts.

Context is Everything, Part 5
Can you put Anna Karenina and Rebecca in separate plastic bags? Thanks.
I had the impression it wasn’t night and it wasn’t day, but some lurid third interval that had suddenly slipped between them and would never end.

Jules Verne cover designs. Spell books in disguise
from The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood
Fan version of ”Rue’s Lullaby” from the Hunger Games. Beautifully sung by Adriana (Adrisaurus). I’ve been listening to this for hours now.
Katniss sings this song to Rue
Lyrics:
Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes
And when again they open, the sun will rise.
Here it’s safe, here it’s warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when again it’s morning, they’ll wash away.
Here it’s safe, here it’s warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
