Book
The reader on the 6.27 / Jean-Paul Didierlaurent ; translated by Ros Schwartz.
An irresistible French sensation - "Mr. Penumbra's 24-hour Bookstore" meets "Amélie" - that explores the power of books through the lives of the people they save. Guylain Vignolles works at a book pulping factory - a job he hates. He has but one pleasure in life - sitting on the 6.27 train each day, reciting aloud from pages he has saved from the jaws of his monstrous pulping machine. One morning, Guylain discovers the diary of a lonely young woman, Julie. A woman who feels as lost in the world as he does. As he reads from these pages, Guylain finds himself falling hopelessly in love with their enchanting author.
