We sat and thought...what are the most pleasant activities that can accompany a coffee? A conversation with friends, a shopping session, browsing the newspaper of Prăjitoriei de Cafea Olivo and if you still get bored of all this, how about a book?
In this issue, our friends at Librarium recommend 6 titles to read over coffee. Find out more about each of them, choose your favorite and run to Librarium Book Corner, on Bulevardul Eroilor No. 15 or at the University Library, in Piata Unirii. Or, we have an even better idea! Why not take all six? Yes, all of them! We also offer you a little help: a voucher with a -20% discount on any of these titles, in Book Corner and University bookstores*.
*The discount is given at checkout and cannot be combined with promotions or loyalty cards. The period of validity of the offer is June 1, 2016 - September 30, 2016. You can find the voucher in the printed version of the Prăjitoriei de Cafea Olivo newspaper, and the discount is applied based on it.
Now read more about Librarium's recommended titles to delight you while you sip your coffee.
- Paul Arden – Think backwards! // Publishing House Art
A genius of the advertising industry, Paul Arden thinks of every book as an advertisement for the best ideas. It is enough to flip through a few pages of a book signed by the British writer to fall in love with him and not put the book down.
- Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt – Oscar and Tanti Roz // Publishing House Humanitas Fiction
Imaginary and incredibly beautiful adventures of a kid in a hospital bed. A short, intense and optimistic novel that propelled the French writer Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt to the top shelf of contemporary French literature.
- Radu Paraschivescu - We speak, we don't think // Humanitas Publishing House
There are writers who have the patience to watch the press just to discover the weirdest, funniest, and not-so-intelligent phrases written or spoken by those who benefit from the media spotlight. TV stars, writers, footballers or politicians, they all make mistakes like you wouldn't imagine!
- Simona Tache and Mihai Radu – Women come from Venus, men from drinking // Trei Publishing House
Yes, yes... We all know everything about each other. And what we like and what we can't stand even in our worst nightmares. But the humor, irony and intelligence of the two journalists turn the war of the sexes into a thrilling and incredibly colorful adventure :)
- Mihai Barbu – I sell kilometers // Publishing House Art
You have a motorcycle and a strange dream: to get to Mongolia! Here are the ingredients that form the basis of Mihai Barbu's photographic diary during his long journey of over 26,000 km. Cute stories, great photography, adventures to match!
6. Bertrand Russell – In search of happiness // Publishing House Humanitas
You would expect boring advice from a mathematician on how to order your life, wake up at night in your head, or count the hours you've wasted. No sign of boredom, however, in this "expedition" of the British philosopher in pursuit of happiness!
