Today involved a trip to Shakespeare and Co, as one must do when one is in Paris. I wrote a little in their Reading Room (a very little; someone else got to the convenient desk ahead of me) and bought some postcards since they don‘t allow photography.

Packing for a weekend trip to Colorado mountains ⛰️
Picked up this in hardcover from the library bookstore to read on the driver (IF I am not being “driver”) #classic #WiaN2025 category Wanderlust

BkClubCare (however I‘m wondering if I am confusing this with Steinbeck‘s travels with Charlie 😬🙄🫤) 1mo
BooksandCoffee4Me Love both books. This one is Hemingway sharing his years in Paris - stories of him and F Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, and the literary bunch. Travels with Charlie is his road trip across the country with his dog and made me want to get a dog and drive to all the small towns I could find. 😄 1mo
BkClubCare @BooksandCoffee4Me Thank you 😊 I have had both on my tbr forever. Trying to hit a reading challenge category; this MIGHT still work. 1mo

My sister‘s book club was reading this, so I loaned her my copy. Many years ago. In her defense, at one point she offered it back after the meeting, but I suggested she hold onto it until she finished it. I‘m pretty sure she doesn‘t even know where it is now. That‘s okay. I‘ve read it twice and definitely have no desire to read it a third time. 🤣🤣

KCofKaysville @Susanita. My uncle returned a book after 20 years! He set a record for that. 1mo
BookmarkTavern LOL I usually just buy the book for my sister when I want her to read something! Thanks for answering! 1mo

I‘ve spent 5 days in Paris and came back last Thursday.

A visit to Shakespeare and Company feels almost mandatory as a reader and book lover, but I also love that store.

These are the books I bought.

I also bought this new tote bag with the very fitting quote

This catchy title caught my eye in a used bookstore. At first I thought it might refer to the AIDS era, post-70s, but it‘s a memoir about F. Scott Fitzgerald and his sad decline after the heyday of the Jazz Age. Tony Buttitta, a bookshop owner and writer befriended Fitzgerald in the summer of 1935, and this is his recollection. It‘s well-written and I‘d recommend it for anyone interested in Fitzgerald or Asheville history.

Blume tells the story of Hemingways struggles to get his big break and the story behind The Sun Also Rises. What did I learn? Hemingway wasn‘t nearly as creative as I had thought, in this case using the story of a strange bender with friends as the plot for his book. It confirmed than Hemingway was quite honestly an ass. Yet at the same time, I‘m tempted to actually read one of his books for the first time in over twenty years.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 10mo
Ruthiella There was so much drinking in The Sun Also Roses, it made me a little queasy while reading. 10mo
