we must rip out all the epilogues in the books that we have read

A little more Parisian inspiration...

Hemingway reading a manuscript in Paris.
I was reading about this amazing bookstore, called Shakespeare & Company, that this is woman Sylvia Beach ran. A lot of American writers, like Hemingway and Fitzgerald, went there while in Paris

The original store closed when France was occupied during World War II, but a new one was opened. It still exists today! Writers can stay there for free if they work in the store. If i don't come back from Pairs, now you'll know why.

it's kind of how i've always pictured heaven. Hines Ward making me a burrito is, of course, missing, but other than that...pretty much perfect.
