Je veux mon livre.

This may be my last post from Europe so if so à bientôt to friends and family.
I thought though that I would tell you about the librarie that I visited (which in France is a bookstore not a library as one might think). Bordeaux claims to have the largest bookstore in all of France, Librarie Mollat, which was indeed an enormous store. Although I haven't read much (or any for that matter) in French since required to in class, I couldn't resist finding some favorites to own in French. I found Madeleine as well as a collection of short stories by Guy de Maupassant including "The Necklace" and Rostand's Cyrano. I should probably try tackling these before the euphoria of being in France wears off. :)

I plan to visit one more librarie when I'm in Paris but this one has a large collection of English books. I especially like the name of this store too--Shakespeare and Co.

Priez pour moi à dimanche. Je chanterai un solo.
Au revoir mes amies!

I think Will Gray has been to that book store.
