A delightful gift for all those who love books and reading. The Sunflower, The contortionist, The sleepwalker, The romantic . . . this one-of-a-kind whimsical volume presents 101 ways and poses in which to read books. Each of the diverse poses has been keenly observed and collected by author Timothée de Fombelle, then charmingly illustrated with the greatest precision by celebrated artist Benjamin Chaud. For bibliophiles, browsers, and the just plain curious, this delightful book is a joyful celebration of reading in its many and varied ways. It is a perfect gift for all who love books and reading and will prove especially inspiring to bookworms who desire to pursue their cherished pastime one hundred and one percent of the time.
Reviews with the most likes.
Timothée de Fombelle names and Benjamin Chaud draws 101 different kinds of readers.
Which of these am I?
I once was The Diva (when I was a school librarian).
I have been both The Champion (big books) and The Wisp (tiny books).
I wanted to be The Connoisseur (reading at the table) but my parents would never let me.
Other people probably think of me as The Plunderer (taking huge stacks of books from the library at one time).
The Early Bird...The Night Owl...The Explorer...The Dreamer...I've probably been most of the 101 at some time in my life.
