... go to Shakespeare and Company, which was nearby.
This was one of my favourite afternoons that I have spent in Paris so far. I sat in that cramped little bookstore's upstairs reading room, and I read and wrote for a few hours. I read and read in a wicker chair in a room filled with books and wildflowers floating in Mason jars under a window looking out on Notre Dame.
