Marilyn Monroe

It doesn’t matter if strolling through the stalls of second hand books, in front of the shelves in a bookshop, comfortably lying on a sofa or stretched out on a lawn, submerged by the foam in a bathtub, curled up on a chair or with feet in air, in a car, at the bar with a glass in hand and a cigarette between the lips: there is always a moment to dedicate to reading. And it does not matter whether it’s a script to be studied, a novel to lose in, a book to leaf through, a newspaper, or just crosswords… The magic of the written words is always the same and seems to capture these celebrities of the big screen of the past.
