Let Them East Pancakes: one man’s personal revolution in the City of Light by Craig Carlson
In a follow up to his memoir “Pancakes in Paris,” Craig Carlson writes of his adventures running an American style diner in Paris. He tells about growing up on the wrong side of the tracks in a northern Connecticut city, and how he was inspired by a language teacher and a college junior year abroad. Many of his battles are with the French bureaucracy—navigating the complicated labor laws, applying for a marriage license with his husband-to-be, and trying to relocate a man who was feeding flocks of pigeons outside his apartment. A particularly entertaining chapter had him trying to find someone to cook a traditional American Thanksgiving dinner, and locating the ingredients. Fans of Bill Bryson and Anthony Bourdain may enjoy this lighthearted look at an American in Paris.

Miss Felicity Beadle’s The World of Poo by Terry Pratchett
Fans of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series will enjoy this children’s book, as will children who have never heard of Pratchett. In the book “Snuff” Sam Vimes, Commander of the Watch, gave this book to his young son, knowing that he would laugh himself sick.
This is the tale of young Geoffrey, who visits his grandmama’s house in Ankh-Morpork while his mother is having a baby. While he was in the yard, a bird poos on his head, and he decides to make a museum of poo in one of the gardening sheds. Geoffrey and his grandmama visit Sir Henry King, who collects all the poo in the city. He also visits the Guild of Plumbers, and along the way collects the poo of hippos, wyverns, dragons and gargoyles.
