Coitus interruptus

Those who know me know I can spend hours, literally, at any store that sells books or movies, and if they are both things at once, the result can be exasperating for even the most patient of companions. No more effective method of escape for a server, just below a good movie or an unexpected trip.

A few days ago I found outside my house have opened a book store. What great news! There would have to take the car to enjoy an evening lost among shelves full of books. I looked at the clock, three in the afternoon, and remained open, better yet, not close at noon. So I ate quickly and stood there.

Spacious, modern, but it caught my attention the few books I had, one or two copies of even the most rabid titles commercial pull. Each shelf was named for the type of book that held: one said "Literature," another "Travel", another "Kitchen". And suddenly: Religious books. Next shelf: religious books, religious books, religious books, religious books for children. And so the rest of the store. One of them was devoted to Opus Dei. So you understood that it was in an ordinary library. What a disappointment. What a coitus interruptus.

Ojeé shelves. I flipped through the books. A kind of sadness came over me when suddenly I saw the following example:

Two words stand out from the cover, two words that are more that do not fit, like pieces of another puzzle, two words that no one should have placed there: one is hope, the other is healing. Likewise it is forbidden to publish books that uplift terrorism or crimes against humanity, should ban such books were published. I felt anger, shame of living in a country where these books lie in certain libraries, and a deep sadness. I left and I doubt again set foot in that store.

What a coitus interruptus.

Continue talking about books and libraries. Speak of the terrible customer service from the Fnac in Murcia and the excellent service Bertrand stores, which are few, but that touch the category of perfect library. And of course, speak of Diego Marín, the best bookstore in the world. Until then.

    No, you do very wrong to forget the place. What you need to do is spread where this library is located and warn everyone that despite everything there are these places to find the necessary tools for those who still are not sure who they are, where they are, where they come from and where will. especially dedicated to those who still do not know what and who are the fruit. In short, we live in a world that surprises us every day that we are fortunate to live it. So sorry not to show your bedroom pseudomanuales covers these. Understand that we are forced everyone justifies their degree of emotional intelligence and therefore dependent. where it descends / the German who has written such a book?. It would be interesting to know the "pedigree" of this character.

  3. Totally agree with Bertrand. From Fnac say nothing, because I am of those who prefer to go unnoticed (I hate the scavenging type "The English court.") AND library like that, I would have run.

    What happens is that you are not very prejudiced, and that is positive and much, but in a religious bookstore, you should find that and many more atrocities.
    People of a certain age may believe that it is difficult and should be trying to change their views, so respect them, respect them better.
    What is not permissible, is that there is no proper sex education for young people in schools, or that all want to be seen from the religious point of view.
