I arrived there at 11 'o clock so I was very early, there wasn't a row of 150 metres before me on the cash desk as I expected.
I went inside and took a look in the four halls of the Expo. The book stands were overwhelming, there were like a milion books all over the Expo. I went to my favorite stand immidiately and started reading backsides of books. I felt my heart tearing apart because I was there without ANY money...
It feels like entering the temple of temptation but you can't touch anything.
I laid the books back on there pile and took my camera. I walked around the Expo and took some shots of people reading and reading.
There were also autors to sign there books, but because I was so early there was almost no one there.
Then I saw Mark Tijsmans - actor and autor of youth books -, I walked to him and asked him to pose with his newest book. He smiled to me and said 'Ok'. He was so friendly, I think he is a very kind and warm person. I also took a photo of Piet Huysentruyt, our cooking "god".
I wanted to wait untill Pieter Aspe, my favorite crime-autor was there, but my feet began to hurt and it would be at least another 40 minutes untill he would arrive. I decided to go home, with pain in my heart because I never went home from a book fair empty handed.
