Reid in the Bookshop


"I don't divide my reading into demographic categories, any more than I'd divide my friends into groups along ethnic or sexual lines. The thing I look for most is a sense of literary rawness - bareback fiction, if you will."  - Christopher Fowler

Riceyman Steps in the Bookshop

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them J. K. Rowling

"Nearly all bookish people are snobs, and especially the more enlightened among them.
