NIK KEJV: PEDESET OMILJENIH KNJIGA (BEZ REDA I REDOSLEDA)… A POLICE ZA KNJIGE MU – PRAZNE

U odgovoru, Kejv je napisao:

“Inače, da bih odgovorio na ovo pitanje, jednostavno bih otišao do police s knjigama i odabrao četrdeset naslova. Međutim, moje police s knjigama su u potpunosti prazne.

Potom je nastavio:

– Više od 5 hiljada knjiga koje sam prikupio tokom godina poslate su Danskoj kraljevskoj biblioteci u Kopenhagenu. Sada su deo potpuno očaravajuće, odlične izložbe “Stranger Than Kindness”.

Bez bibilioteke ispred mene teško mi je da sastavim opsežnu listu mojih 40 omiljenih knjiga. Najbolje što mogu je da nabacam bez forme, nekoherentno, hrpu naslova koje mi padaju na pamet ovoga trena, a koje sam, iz ovog ili onog razloga, voleo tokom godina.

Kejv je na kraju zaključio:

– Mislim da sam se zaneo. Mislim da ih je pedeset – bez nekog posebnog redosleda.
