"But richest of all, perhaps, is the London for book lovers."

This article made me want to go back to London! The mention of White Teeth made me remember when I first bought that book. It wasn't in London, in fact. It was in either Alicante or Valencia, Spain. I was traveling and bored and in need of English-language literature, so I found White Teeth in a bookstore and bought it. Only later did I learn that Zadie Smith was the new prodigy out there. I was ahead of that trend!
