11/8/2013 - Shakespeare and Company
A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway
There are countless options for books about Paris. I had a few in mind when I reached Shakespeare and Company and discovered new ones inside. I chose a back-up plan, even if it's a cliche. Hemingway's A Moveable Feast is the book where he wrote: “If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.”
Shakespeare and Company was one of the best bookstores of the trip. In addition to a great selection of English language books downstairs, the upstairs is a lounge where visitors can sit and read the store's collection of old books (not for sale). The bookstore is catered to tourists, but still manages to stay classy and casual.
