The Heming...Bellezza - Poor is definitely relative! The Hemingway's time in Paris sounds pretty spectacular to me.<br /><br />DS - Can't wait to see which Paris books and stories grab your attention! Colette was such a wonderful discovery last summer and I certainly hope to read at least a few of her stories this trip.<br /><br />Karne K. - I think it includes books about/set in France, even if the author is not French. The French pavilion at Epcot is my favorite, although it's been years since we've been there. Can't wait to hear what you think of Germinal. I'm reading a book for a tour now, then I'll be starting another Zola. Have a great trip!<br /><br />Darlene - Amazing, but Cheri was a year ago. London holds a deeper place in my heart, too... but I do love Paris In July!<br /><br />Frances - That's usually my style too, but Paris in July was a highlight of my reading in 2010 and I don't want to miss out. Hope you decide to join us!<br /><br />Staci - Matt's post are making me just a tiny bit jealous ;-) I would love to visit Paris!!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-36098461429495857162011-06-23T17:44:37.635-04:002011-06-23T17:44:37.635-04:00Have fun in Paris...between your posts and Matt...Have fun in Paris...between your posts and Matt's I'm sure to make a nice list of books to read next year!Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600979915661464945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-92038970015916475282011-06-23T12:47:58.899-04:002011-06-23T12:47:58.899-04:00It was fun last year.

Oh how time flies...<br /><br />I really can not entertain the idea of entering into a love affair with Paris. My one true love is England but perhaps one of these days I may consider having a brief fling.

I have a huge stack that would qualify! <br /><br />I'm actually starting a little early as I'll be visiting the French Pavilion at Epcot on Saturday, eating lunch at the Chefs de France! And they always have interesting books about France in the gift shop.<br /><br />I'm brining Zola's Germinal to read on the plane since it the July read for my Classics book group. I'm going to try and read another Zola as well.Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-72880565402999524692011-06-23T10:52:23.192-04:002011-06-23T10:52:23.192-04:00Yippee, you are doing this too!

(It was Emile Zola's <i>Therese Raquin</i>, and I loved it!) I'm reading <i>A Moveable Feast</i>, too, and it's wonderful to feel that I'm in Paris with Ernest. I can't imagine how he calls himself poor, but eats in those beautiful cafes and visits such wonderful writers every day. I guess 'poor' is relative, right? :) Glad to be doing this with you, JoAnn!Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.com
