StadtLesen is a literary reading series that tours some of the most beautiful cities in Europe and transforms popular plazas and parks to outdoor reading rooms. In September, it\'s the MQ\'s turn. Three thousand books in just about every genre offer plenty of material for outdoor reading adventures. And it\'s free. There\'s no question that reading habits are changing with the growing importance of digital media. Taking time to read is increasingly becoming a luxury. StadtLesen wants to contribute a little to this luxury and (re)kindle people\'s enthusiasm for reading. On September 17, German screenwriter and bestselling author David Safier will be reading passages from his book Happy Family, released the day before. But it\'s up to the visitors to enjoy the other books. All they have to do is borrow them for free, find a spot to sit, and read away.
