Part of Tolstoy and the purple chair : my year of magical reading
Three girls, different from each other, but all love books. Ever since we started tattooing, tattoo artists have turned to books. I was only three years old when my sisters and I went to the mobile library in threes. The mobile library stopped in a corner a few blocks from our house.

Ray Bradbury, in Fahrenheit 451, describes the smell of books as “like the smell of nutmeg or some kind of foreign spice.” In my opinion, books smell like spices, but they smell like a native spice; Relaxing and familiar. The same smell of a mobile library, a combination of the smell of old pages and hot bodies.

We pushed forward in the rows of shelves and searched for what we wanted in the lowest rows. The upper bouts featured two cutaways, for easier access to the higher frets.
The fixed shelves in the middle of the van were for books that had just been published, and there was a place for returning books that had arrived on time. At home we were expected to pay attention to the return date of the books and to return them on time. Anmari and I always delivered the books late, but Natasha always delivered them on time.

Many books were piled on the window sill of Anmari Hospital; Gifts from family and friends. As much as I bought books for him, I borrowed books from him. Anmari recently introduced me to a writer named Deborah Cromby and her undercover detective stories Duncan Kinkid and Gemma James.

While I was just beginning to read and fall in love with him, he was re-reading the collection. I was just in the middle of the story “Everything will be fine”. The title of the book was promising, and when I saw the book by the hospital window, I was allowed to borrow it. Anmari agreed, but said I had to return it. We were all still planning for more time.

I promised to encourage him to start a collection of crime stories I had just discovered. I have written a book. سی. Beaton, whose main character is a simple and lovable policeman named Hamish Macbeth from the Highlands.
I suggested that I bring some of his volumes with me to the next meeting. Anmari looked at me in disbelief – surprised to prefer London to the suburbs of Scotland – but I reassured him that Beethoven’s unusual characters did not have a rural vibe. We all laughed again.

When Anmari was tired, her eyes were almost half closed and her words were cut off. It was a sign to me that I should leave him and let him rest with his books and newspapers. I kissed her and said I loved her and would see her again tomorrow.
