Status Updates From A Waiter in Paris: Adventur...

Favorite chapter. Love to see his come up.

Moving to Paris not speaking French is crazy work to me

Excellent

Por ahora me está gustando mucho el inicio, una buena representación de lo que es el Paris que la gente no ve, el que está por detrás del radar pero que ocupa mayoritariamente la ciudad.

Good book!

Really enjoying it

started slow but pretty invested now

Eastern europe mentioned!!!

Nie ma chuja, że w roku 2024 chłop dostał pracę z dnia na dzień w Paryżu bo poszedł zanieść cv do dyrektora

Seriously good, although i’m struggling with the character names, not very defining people but amazing.

Re-reading!

By no means a shiny, warming depiction, but Edward Chisholm has a magnificent way with words.

Picked this back up where I left off while I was in Paris (a little too close to home to read about grotty restaurants and dodgy streets that I visited myself!). Amazing how suddenly, instead of repulsing me a bit, it conjures up a sort of longing, even in the less-than-shining depictions, I still see the city I fell in love with. Not perfect, but perfectly imperfect.

Good

Wasn’t that impressed with this at first but it has turned to be quite entertaining. One passage made me laugh out loud this morning- a rare and exciting event

V good for the commute this one

Great, I love the writing.

Ok wasn’t into this before, but I’ve picked it back up and am flying through it

I love this book already.

“Because you're in it, you're in the film. You're not watching, you've got a walk-on, speaking part. And everything feels possible. Besides, when you’re in Paris you couldn't care less about anywhere else. Your world shrinks; it's the centre of the universe. There is nowhere else.”

I like

Drømmer meg bort til Paris✨

I loved this book as someone who’s lived in France and worked in a restaurant- just not at the same time. It read like I was watching a movie.

It’s no down and put in Paris and London but it is amazing that 100 years on from Orwell he’s essentially living the same life.

"People say Paris smells of piss, but in the morning it smells of croissants."

Utešno xD

Almost finished listening to this. It would be a brilliant radio play!!

so far it’s only confirmed my impression of Paris as a grimy city and put me off eating out anywhere in that city where you can’t see the kitchen.
