I haven't been to this coffee-house in years and was kinda surprised to discover that they're more of a restaurant now, and actually serve hellagood food. Best chicken that I've had for sometime now.. :) We sat outside for a while since it was >20deg outside, although when the shade hit us it got to cold to be outside (it's the classic thing here in Iceland).
The afternoon was very nice, we sat and chatted and afterwards I checked out the huge bookstore across the street. Actually found a book I bought and have started reading. It's a collection of modern Japanese short stories, called "Modern Japanese Stories" hehe original right ;)"Edited by Ivan Morris, a recognized authority on Japanese literature, Modern Japanese Stories: An Anthology is a volume of the highest quality and fidelity. The anthology also contains a long critical introduction by the editor tracing the development of modern Japanese fiction, introductory paragraphs to each story giving information about the author and the story's cultural context, and a selected bibliography of modern Japanese fiction available in English translation." [more]I'm rather excited to start reading this one ;), half-way through the introduction...
I can't quite put my finger on it but there is something I just really love about bookstores.. I just go in one and I don't notice the hours just flying-by :D. Books are fun!
This afternoon at 21:00 I'm going to Te og Kaffi on Laugarvegur, which I have high hopes towards since it's one of the o-so rare coffee-houses in Reykjavik that doesn't allow smoking! Hurray, finally my clothes wont stink of cigarette smoke afterwards! :D ... besides it's supposed to serve a wicked cup of espresso ...
