Literary festivals

There are two ways to read a book – either completely on your own or together with other book lovers. The first way is perfect for rainy Sunday afternoons curled up on your sofa, but the second way is much more fun. Especially in Berlin, where exciting readings or discussions with famous authors take place on a daily basis. Here you can see young writers presenting their first texts on reading stages and old hands trying out passages from their new novels on a critical Berlin audience. There are also international festivals where book worms can hear their favourite authors reading excerpts from their own works.
