Ik lees graag. En veel. Maar hoe meer ik lees, hoe meer ik gefrustreerd ben om wat ik nog niet heb gelezen. Bernard heeft me doen inzien dat het niet erg is om een boek diagonaal te lezen. Richard Florida’s Who’s you city moest er vanavond aan geloven. Maar er zijn ook van die boeken die het in je plaats doen.
