Reply to comment by RachelOfRefuge in 84 Charing Cross Road a Subtle Charming Story about Friendship Between Book Lovers by boxer_dogs_dance

I tried to communicate clearly that it is a very quiet story where not much happens beyond the development of the relationship. I also loved a Man Called Ove.

Edit, tastes vary. Some people like bird watching or knitting, others may prefer roller coasters or bungie jumping. Some like all of the above.

I feel like the book is a love letter to reading. The book is about all the little joys (and frustration) that come with being a reader. I think we all (fans of the book) secretly wish we had a personal relationship that strongly with a bookshop.
