Accompany Me On My Journeys

Snuggled in a by-lane of Goa close to Calungute beach, easily unnoticed lies a heaven for book-lovers. A book store that serves coffee, sandwiches, eggs and wine from the mini-menu that comes to mind.

Literati's mini-menu

People who like their books categorised and alphabetically organised should stick to the Oxford store, not so far away.

Literati has the feel of a local library but much cosier, with a couch set and a stool perched beside the window facing a garden.

There are books on the couch, on the table in front of the couch, on the shelves, on the stool, a paradise for someone who likes the idea of being surrounded by books.

 Many might not go to Goa for a quiet time but many will agree that it is nothing but bliss to be lying on a bench  by the sun, sand and the sea, soaking into a book. The store on the other hand offers the view to a garden. The only depressing thing is that you cannot step out of the store to read the book in the garden or even on the steps. But you can enjoy your coffee and eggs outside reading a newspaper perhaps.
ps: Thanks to Satwik for telling me about Literati. God Bless you!

The way to the store. (ps: You can see the window I mentioned) In conclusion if you want an Un-Goa experience in Goa head off to Literati, to the land of colourful, gripping, binded books and read on for hours without any disturbance or anyone bothering you for a cup of coffee. It is also a place in Goa where you won't get uncomfortable to go with your children.
