Paris, I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down

This is a lovely book about about Paris, or rather being an American in Paris and trying to figure out: how? why? WHAT? Anyone who has traveled someplace they did not speak the language can relate to many of the feelings expressed by the author, although certainly the volume of red tape he encounters is unique to being an expat. Paris, I Love You... is smart and funny; it is also a beautiful portrait of Paris through the seasons and of the many quirks that make the French, well, French.
