Th...I LOVE Adrian Mole and have read all the books! The first one I read when I was a teenager myself, I think; my Mum recommended it to me. It must have been new then, so it was possibly around the year 1985, too.<br />Using the time for reading is nearly the only thing I like about my trip to and from work. I do occasionally look out of the window, but most of the journey is through industrial estates or past very average houses, and of course I've seen it all so many times now, it only gets interesting when the seasons are changing (as they are doing right now).Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-63870080765479029632014-09-26T10:07:17.064+02:002014-09-26T10:07:17.064+02:00The name Kepler always brings back some memories t...The name Kepler always brings back some memories to me, too; my paternal grandfather used to live in a house on Keplerstr. in my home town. My Dad grew up in that house, and before my grandfather moved away to be nearer to one of his daughtrs, we went visiting there regularly. I still walk past that house often on my way home from work, and always think about what it was like back then.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-78001740579825971392014-09-26T01:41:55.800+02:002014-09-26T01:41:55.800+02:00I would have skipped the equations too, it is only...I would have skipped the equations too, it is only the person's story that I care about.<br />I like the idea of you on the train and being able to read, that's wonderful! I remember reading "The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole" on the train in England in 1985 (showing my age) and laughing out loud, but when folks saw what I was reading, they understood.<br />The trains in 1985 were much nicer than they are in 2014!!Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-34207566931807120412014-09-25T15:20:23.037+02:002014-09-25T15:20:23.037+02:00How interesting.

It was named after a different Kepler and was an excellent bookstore, where we spent many hours. I was working in an esoteric bookstore just down the block at the time and often just walked over during my lunchtime. Right next to Kepler's Books was one of our other favorite hangouts - Cafe Borrone. I still sometimes think of their frosted mocha or their corn chowder. Thanks for the memories!! xoxo SilkeSilke Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17094855019089665976noreply@blogger.com
