Walking to school yesterday I noticed a large number of stalls set out
in one of the squares. I wandered over to take a look. It was a book
fair. Every stall was covered in books - big books and small books,
text books and story books, thick books and thin books. And all of
them in a language I read not one word of. As someone who loves to
spend every spare minute in book shops and at book fairs it was a hell
designed personally for me.
William Labov, RIP.
