C'est bien fait pour moi, je me suis laissée séduire par le titre et la bande rouge annonçant un "best-seller". L'éditeur n'y est pas allée de main morte pour vendre un bouquin des plus banal, pas très bien écrit ( ou traduit ?), une histoire avec quelques moments sombres pour finir en nageant dans le bonheur pour tous les personnages du roman. Un roman "feel good" qui ne veut pas dire son nom. Quel ennui ! ( )

Then he read his favorite novel, The Uncommon Reader. A slim volume by a renowned author, he allowed himself to read it only once a year, looking forward to it each time like a connoisseur anticipating the first asparagus of the season. (p. 157)
... he lived in a village, one that only he was aware of: a village of readers. At first glance, the houses in the village didn't stand directly next to one another. In reality, they were tlike the ribs of an accordion, at a distance from one another when the insturment was drawn apart. As soon as the music begain to play, and the bellows pressed the air out, they suddenly found themselves next to one another. (p. 164)
Paper is carbon, he [Carl] thought. We humans are the same. Books and humans are made of the same stuff. (p. 172)
"Why don't we start a book club? You know, where everyone reads a book together and talks about it. The same as in the past, when people sat together around the fire to tell one another stories. In the Stone Age, it might have been the warmth that gathered them together, but it was the stories that first gave them civilization."
Carl was not fond of groups of people: they made him uncomfortable. Besides, he was the Book Walker, not the Book Talker. (p. 189)
"It's called Ronia, the Robber's Daughter, and it's about you [Schascha], somehow." (p. 227)
