Shakespeare and Company, on the Left Bank, is one of the most famous independent bookstores in the world. Opening in 1951 it quickly became a center for expat literary life in Paris. Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Anaïs Nin, William Styron, Henry Miller, William Saroyan, and James Baldwin were among early visitors to the shop.

I'm reading Cemetery Dance by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child, the 9th Pendergast book from 2009. I found it in the Large Print section of my library and realized I hadn't read it yet. I've read and enjoyed all the others so I figured it was time for this one.

Listening to I Hope This Finds You Well by Natalie Sue, a "wildly funny and heartwarming office comedy." Indeed it is. Well done.
