Hidden behind FNAC every Tuesday afternoon book vendors gather with their collapsible tables and bins of books to present their wares. The books range from commonplace to extremely rare, from centuries old to newly printed.I wandered this today, sorting through the covers for words and names I knew. I ended up buying a book by Michel Tremblay called La nuit des princes charmants - "The Night of Charming Princes." At 4 euro, the book was one of the more expensive on the table of this particular vendor but I decided to go ahead and buy the book because it called to me. And who am I to resist the call of a book?
The book was soon in my bag and I was leaving the little cluster of vendors to make my way back home. Now I have a book to read that will probably keep me occupied for the rest of the time I am here. Or at least until I discover le mensonge et la vérité dans l'urgence du désir that the book promises to reveal.
