You Cannot Find a Café Like This in Any Other Place

BY EUGENE LIN OCTOBER 30 , 2018

When you walk into DiningBooks, you will notice the smell of coffee brewing, the sound of milk being steamed, the large selection of books, and customers eating plates of homemade spaghetti. And yet, these are not the reasons that made Lin Li Qing, the author of “Zuo Gong De Ren”, choose DiningBooks to do a four-day class on writing and share some of his unpublished stories.

DiningBooks is a café located in the middle of Taitung City. It is in a modern building in light concrete grey, with two floors and two big old-fashioned windows in front of the store.

“The café keeper was really friendly,” said Lin. “Great to get along with, and the quality of the coffee he made was really good. I see no reason not to come back again!”

In fact, he visits DiningBooks to do presentations every time he publishes a book. The café owner believes these presentations provide value to his customers.

“I hope the customers can have some sort of inspiration after each presentation,” said the café owner. “And I believe Li Qing’s presentation is one of those that inspired us.”

Lin made four presentations at DiningBooks between Oct. 7 and Oct. 10. during which he discussed his books, and some unpublished stories within his new book.

DiningBooks regularly hosts guest speakers, including a pastry chef, a head chef, and all kinds of authors and bloggers with unique perspectives.
