Passion for Paris
Passion for Paris: Romanticism and Romance in the City of Light by David Downie
"A top-notch walking tour of Paris. . . . The author's encyclopedic knowledge of the city and its artists grants him a mystical gift of access: doors left ajar and carriage gates left open foster his search for the city's magical story. Anyone who loves Paris will adore this joyful book. Readers visiting the city are advised to take it with them to discover countless new experiences." -Kirkus Reviews

Lives in Ruins
Lives in Ruins: Archaeologists and the Seductive Lure of Human Rubble by Marilyn Johnson
Johnson tracks archaeologists around the globe from the Caribbean to the Mediterranean, from Newport, Rhode Island, to Machu Picchu. She digs alongside experts on an eighteenth-century sugar plantation and in a first-century temple to Apollo. She hunts for bodies with forensic archaeologists in the vast and creepy Pine Barrens of New Jersey, drinks beer with an archaeologist of ancient beverages, and makes stone tools like a caveman.
By turns amusing and profound,
Lives in Ruins, with its wild cast of characters, finds new ways to consider what is worth salvaging from our past.

"Second Tuesday", our fiction group:
The Marriage of Opposites
The Marriage of Opposites by Alice Hoffman

Hoffman's lush, seductive prose, and heart-pounding subject make this latest skinny-dip in enchanted realism the Platonic ideal of the beach read (Slate.com).
