Lๆseren i morgentoget
Lๆseren i morgentoget | Jean-Paul Didierlaurent
Jean Paul Didierlaurents internationale bestseller Lๆseren i morgentoget appellerer umiddelbart til alle lๆsere, men isๆr til de mange, der elsker at lๆse om de andre, der elsker at lๆse. Den har solgt mere end 240.000 eksemplarer i Frankrig og udkommer i 25 lande. Guylain Vignolles er en af verdens stille eksistenser, der helst vil glide i ้t med tapetet. Han lever af det, han hader mest af alt, nemlig at makulere b๘ger. Det lykkes ham dog somme tider at redde enkelte sider ud af det store makuleringsmonster af en maskine pๅ den fabrik, hvor han arbejder. Disse sider - smๅ uddrag fra alle mulige forskellige b๘ger - lๆser han op med h๘j og klar r๘st hver morgen i toget kl. 06:27. Han bliver hurtigt et fๆnomen, og folk lytter til ham. En dag finder han et usb-stik i toget, der viser sig at indeholde en dagbog, skrevet af en ung kvinde. Da han begynder at efterforske hendes historie, fๅr det uventede f๘lger, bๅde for ham selv og for et par af de andre uforglemmelige personer i denne roman. En humoristisk og livsklog roman om, hvordan litteraturen har magt til at ber๘re og ๆndre menneskers liv.

3.5/5
Short feel good novel.
Guylain's job is destroying books. Each morning, in the RER heading for work, he reads out loud random sheets that escaped the destructive machine.
We follow Guylain, the atypical characters he meets.
Overall, an interesting and somewhat funny read.

This book was a mishmash of semi-inventive ideas, charmingly put together. I would be rating it higher if I'd actually got a feel for Guylain as a character rather than a series of quirks.

It was short and sweet, but tried far too hard to be quaint.

A short quirky and quaint book. I was not sure what to make of it initially. It hit its stride about one-third through. But half way the story pivoted again.
Overall, an odd one but since short, was an interesting read.

#coupdecoeur J'ai reçu ce livre gratuit dans un sac d'événement. Je lui ai donné sa chance basée sur le titre excentrique, la 4e de couverture qui indiquait que cโ€˜était une histoire de pages de livres et de lecture. J'ai vraiment apprécié! Les personnages sont marginaux et attachants. De plus, l'histoire nous amène dans une réalité des plus étonnante et réconfortantes #review #romanssurleslivresetlalecture #franco #2020JLU

3.5 โญ๏ธ Not truly a romance genre book. Guylain bleakly attends to his life destroying books at a paper plant. His solace is rescuing pages for reading aloud on the 6.27 and talking to his goldfish. He finds a memory stick with the diary of Julie, a lavatory attendant, on it. He is brought to life as he finds a kindred soul in her words.

Beautifully written with bleakness interspersed with comedy, quirky characters, & the search for happiness.

BookishMe Loved it! I remember my ๐Ÿ’”cracking when book squelching was described but the metaphors were brilliant! 4y

Finished another one during this readathon #24b4Monday besides it is also a book of our #12littens12books challenge.
I read this book some time ago and I didn't like it. This time I really enjoyed it. It's a fluffy read about several difficult subjects (death, age, being alone, hate your job) and I liked , how the author gets it all together in a cosy atmosphere.

This #12Littens12Books read was very quick an simple, but a cute boy-meets-girl - or rather: boy-READS-girl! It's protagonist falls a little flat, but his surroundings however is full of interesting people. Yet he's so depressed that he can't enjoy anything until he finds a mysterious diary. Guess what happens next ๐Ÿ˜ŽโœŒ๏ธ

Sorry that wasn't my book. Perhaps because I don't understand the crazy job of the prota. It's not mine. #12littens12books

Buechersuechtling Well, I just did a bit of research because of the data entry Litsy has doesn‘t provide much information โ€“ least to say: nothing. And yes, I think I‘m with you. It sounds really sweet but also seems to be a cheap copy of books that follow the scheme of โ€žDie fabelhafte Welt der Amélieโ€œ. 5y

I'm furious with myself. I heard so much good about this book it's been on my TBR for ages, I was happy to get it for Christmas and now I was quite underwhelmed reading it.

It is a homage to books, reading, being read to, but some things just made me roll my eyes.

Such a wonderful book!! At first I feared it would be too melancholic for my taste, but then it got soooo sweet!! It‘s simultaneously an ode to books, to the beauty of a simple life, to friendship, to love, to the unexpected.
I also very much enjoyed the differences in typeface and in the colour of the paper, to signal differences between narrator or author.
I might have to order it as a Christmas gift for a few people๐Ÿคฉ

Dull and strange, โ€˜The Reader on the 6:27‘ was just far too boring for me. It's 1 star for a book I did manage to finish, but only because I skimmed large chunks of it!

Do you feel the same? I've read some very varied reviews of this book!

A story about the power of written words, how books can help make sense of daily mundane lives. The characters in the novel are all seeking something that is missing from their lives. The mc, a quirky guy who loves books but works in a book pulping factory. His 2 friends & his pet goldfish are all that keep him sane. He reads aloud everyday on a train to bring some interest in his life,little did he realise his action is benefiting others as well.

erzascarletbookgasm And when he finds a diary of a woman, he decides to track her down after reading it. Quite stalkish in that sense. A quick, okay read, didn‘t quite work for me. 6y

Rocket Men by Robert Kurson - 5*

Fantastic book; miraculous feat. Jim Lovell is my hero; he joined Frank Borman, & Bill Anders for Apollo 8. Kurson does a fine job of balancing the details about this mission with the major occurrences in America and the world. The narrative is never boring and never feels forced. It occurred 2 months after I was born, so my knowledge of 1968-1972 is sparse. I remain amazed by Borman, Anders, and Lovell.

Very good. Enjoyed it start to finish. Felt like even though the ending was left open and not quite complete it suited this book as there are many 'extracts' from 'books' which don't get finished. Loved how it explored the ideas of stories and reading and how if you love reading its a big part of your life. Recommend.

A fairly quick read that seemed divided in both content and style. Pivotal point was the diary readings.
Whilst I feel more could have been made of the back story, and the love interest, I did enjoy the story :)

Wow. I hated this. Unbearably twee, ridiculous and a strangely juvenile tone, perhaps a problem translating idiomatic French? The only interesting idea was that of a man rescuing books which he is employed to pulp and this is done SO much better in Bohumil Hrabal's Too Loud a Solitude. It's a day late but I almost #threwitacrosstheroom! #photoadaynov16
