THIS is where I'm dreaming about being right now. Shakespeare and Co. in Paris is such an old, creaky, hip and storied place that I can't imagine anyone with a bookish bent not wanting to spend some serious time here. My trip to Paris three years ago only planted an

I've been collecting favorite bookstores in England for a hoped-for trip in September. But Paris for a bookstore sounds good, too!

Trish, Thanks so much for joining us today. I'm always dreaming of France but try to limit my yearnings to Mondays.

Italy sounds like a great place to visit. I'm sure there'll be some reading spots to settle down with a book and a glass (bottle?) of wine ;)
