I stumbled upon the most amazing bookstore in Paris today. Its called Shakespeare and Company, and its filled of books in ENGLISH, which means I can read them!!
Books line the walls, complete with ladders to climb the shelves! This literally was my paradise. I walked around forever looking at all books.
I couldn't decide what to buy for my souveneir, so I asked the worker for his favorite. He recommended an F Scott Fitzgerald one. He was soo cool. Then I spotted a vintage French one translated into English called Cafe Celeste, so I grabbed that too. Take a guess as to why that name jumped out at me :)
I want to skip the tours so I can start reading, but obviously I won't. Ahhhhh loveee books.

ReplyDeleteI would need a taller ladder to reach the books on the top shelf, :). you should post two or three time a day when you go to new countries :). have a blast but be safe! love you!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of Carl Sandburg's house in Hendersonville, NC. His hallways were lined with bookshelves and books!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the bookshelf in Beauty and the Beast
