i’m not sure why i didn’t take “the diary of” in this title literally, but it truly does read as a diary, taking you through the day by day mundanities and absurdities that afflict a bookseller in a small town. 

this was very structured and i found it enjoyable to half listen to as an audiobook while multitasking, but i would not have been able to sit through reading this. nothing spectacular, but decent nonetheless.
