Will American readers embrace a novel that philosophizes so heavily about daily life
This was another Paris vacation-inspired read (though I'd been wanting to read it for a while). A sweet and tender story with quirky characters I fell in love with, and interesting philosophical and culture-related discussions (it's time for me to watch Yasujirō Ozu's The Munekata Sisters, revisit the art of seventeenth-century Dutch masters, and finally read Tolstoy's Anna Karenina).

Ok...OMGGGGG!!!!! This has got to be the horriblest(yeah, not a word)book I have ever had the dishonor of attempting to read, muchless finish.

I'm enjoying this book but want to really concentrate on it. The Tourist came in at the library, so I'm putting this aside for now so I can treasure later :)
