Life’s an ocean with too much commotion

Today I went to the Boekenbeurs in Antwerpen. It’s an annual event where you can buy books (of course) and get them signed by the author. Although there’s a lot of people walking over each other and you could probably buy a good book with the entrance fee, it’s an event I’d like to go to. It’s interesting to see which books are bought by which people and to see the actual author of these books (OK maybe not completely true, this year is probably the year where every famous actor, singer or politician wrote a book and finds it necessary to sign them at the Boekenbeurs. Natalia was one of them and 50% of all visitors was standing in the crowd for a look or a signature).Sterling Book House is a book shop in London, Brussels, .. where you can buy books written in English. I’ve bought two books at the Boekenbeurs and they are both coming from that shop:

- Douglas Coupland – The gum thief
- Haruki Murakami – Sputnik Sweetheart

The picture I took from our cupboard which is fully stored with books. It’s an encyclopedia that has suffered from oldness. I took it with my Sigma Macro lens.
