Sleeping man,
On my sofa,
Do I wake him?
Do I leave him?
Do I take a heavy book,
Draw back,
And cleave him?

I run the English Bookstore in Lausanne, Switzerland. Here I offer my views on books and bookselling.
Which book would you take to cleave the poor man?
ReplyDeleteA good one? A bad one? A funny one? Or a thought-provoking one?
Great stuff! More please.
ReplyDeleteI'd probably take 'War and Peace' mainly because of the heft, but also because it elegantly demonstrates the dichotomy of his slumber and my reaction to it.
