French Ambition

Well, I'm trying to keep myself connected to the dream of living in Paris un jour. For me that entails French movies, music (Piaf, Aznavour), wine (cotes de Bergerac) and books. I've been reading Almost French since September. No, I'm not a slow reader. But with school, I can only read a chapter here and there. Hopefully, if the weather is still nice and crisp, I'll go to a park and read for a couple hours. I've already renewed the book 3 times so it must be read by early November!

Almost French is the story of an Aussie woman who meets a Frenchman in Prague and is intrigued by his, well, Frenchiness. She agrees to visit him in Paris and ends up moving there. I actually started reading this book in Paris outside of:



Shakespeare and Company. I desperately wanted to buy the book right then and there, but I was already on dangerous ground with my luggage situation. I couldn't afford to add an extra ounce to my already laden down self. So I just jotted down the name and author instead. The book is funny and interesting and I look forward to finishing it soon! LOL.
