Book Shelf - December 2008

 Book Shelf - December 2008

I brought many books with me, as usual, because I am able to read a lot while here in Paris. My suitcase had more books than clothes in it, I think.  I found some great new (to me) books already on the book shelf in the storage closet in 8317 and a lot of out-dated and old books. These older ones I passed along to other people in the Cite. Many are English speakers, here for a long time, on limited budgets, and out of reading material, so they were much appreciated. I read The Secrets of the Seine and Almost French and liked them...thank you to whoever left those. Also, the book about Tractors in Ukrainian, quite funny. I've added 9 new books to the shelf, all current titles, including Clotilde Dusoulier's newest book about Paris customs, food, shops, and restaurants. She has the blog Chocolate and Zucchini which is excellent.  Before I leave, I'll probably finish another book or two and will leave those here. Happy reading to those who follow!  mim golub scalin
