Now that its finished, I'm not quite sure what to do with myself. Except that it's not quite finished. This story will live on long after we are all gone. I watched the movie twice before reading it (a huge faux pa, I know, but I didn't actually know it was a book the first time, and then I couldn't find a copy, so the movie had to suffice the second time). Each bookish letter melted like butter on a fresh slice of toast. It was heartwarming and, well, perfect. Five stars does not seem fair, since I have rated other books five stars, but they just don't compare to 84 Charing Cross Road. It was the best piece of non-fiction I have ever read. So much so that I kept on reminding myself that the situations in the book actually happened. The whole scenario is idyllic, and if it wasn't for an unreliable postal system, I would've loved to have Miss Helene Hanff's experience. So, to every bibliophile everywhere, stop what you are doing right now and read this book. You will never regret it....more
