When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.

I have acquired a nice stack of books from American writers in 1920s Paris. I guess I’m sort of hoping for a Midnight in Paris type scenario when I am there.
I am starting with the overview provided by Exile’s Return (Malcolm Cowley). It’s a nice comparison/contrast to Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast, which is one of my favorites.
Along with books, you could watch these movies to get you in the mood:
- An American in Paris
- Amelie (one of my favorites)
- Before Sunset
- Funny Face*,**
- Love in the Afternoon**
- Charade*,** (love, love this one)
- Paris When It Sizzles**
- French Kiss (Kevin Kline is damn sexy in this cause he reminds me of a guy I used to date)
I know there are more but those come to mind.
* - directed by Stanley Donen (I love his movies-he also directed Two For The Road)
** - starring Audrey Hepburn (yeah, I have a thing for her too and those two worked together quite often)

my semester abroad was in paris studying the expatriates. we’d read the works, then go and walk in the footsteps. it was an amazing time and i was all of 20. there was a lot of wine.
