"A poet's work is to name the unnameable; to point at frauds; to take sides; start arguments; shape the world and stop it from going to sleep." - Salman Rushdie

Love the photo. Saved the list. It looks like there are alot of books there I would love to read. I have David McCullough's book, The Great Journey, Americans in Paris set aside right now to read soon.
Thanks for the link to the list. Reading it I realize that most of the books that I've read about France are from the "fiction" section of the list. I don't know that I'm a Francophile, but I'll hang onto this link and read one or two of the books listed... in some other section than "fiction."
