About Amy

LitRx stands for Literature Prescription. It's a marketplace for used books, stuff you want to write with and write on, & special items to enhance your desk space and reading experience. inspired by the eclectic clothing stores of BC, run by Amy Park, a local editor and internet nerd.


The goal of the bookshop is to connect people with used books from across BC. I'll comb the Okanagan for old and interesting tomes, and in the future I will provide a shop-front for your old previously-loved books to be consigned. Combining the fun of treasure hunting through old bookstores with a lifelong love of the Internet.


One day I hope to be able to invest in stocking up the books in this store to make my dream for it become a reality. As of now I'm showcasing titles from my personal collection to give you a glimpse of who I am and what my interests are, while offering collections of stationery and desk items.

Reading about Goering and Hess in their lead up to their trials for war crimes. It’s interesting to get an account of their personality / neurotic natures. I wonder how true the accounts are.

Hess was apparently into astrology / sooth saying, and was described to have been schizophrenic with periodic amnesias. Psychosomatic symptoms plagued his body while his mind slowly broke over the attempt to cope with being largely responsible for some of those horrors.

Goering is presented as an opiate addict and social chameleon whose insanity seemed to rise at pace with his power during the German turn towards Nazism.

I’m morbidly curious about how they were affected by the stress of being responsible for such monumental atrocities. What must that feel like, to be crushed under the weight of global Justice?

I never want to know, but I do want to learn and read different perspectives.

Book is Justice at Nuremberg by Robert E. Conot.
