It was, in many ways, her dream bookshop. Not least because all the books had already been read. Books that had already been read were the best.

About This Quote

In this quote, the speaker is describing a bookshop, and what makes it a special place. The bookshop isn’t a place where new books are sold. It’s a place where all the books have been read already. That means that while it can be a place of rest and quiet, it’s also a place of great significance for its visitors.

There’s an idea here about the importance of rest and quiet in life - rest and quiet are important to health and development, not just in books or libraries, but in life itself. Sometimes though, when we get so caught up in our lives that we forget to take time out for rest and quiet, we can experience burnout. When our minds are too active, they don’t function properly, and we lose the ability to feel things fully or think clearly.

So, while rest and quiet is important for us at all times, especially when we need to recharge our batteries between activities or meetings, it’s even more important in the bookshop because of the meaning it holds for all those who visit.
