My Journey as a ... Writer
 
What a great reading.  I found the way the author, Adam Gopnik uses irony and humor in his descriptions about adjusting to life in Paris to be refreshing and funny.  I found myself giggling thinking about how the BHV may look at Christmas.  His references to Darwin and the lack of Regulon in the Semioshhere is  very telling about our culture of technology and more technology.  I get the feeling that he wouldn't mind a little less instant media in his life.  Perhaps what he like about Paris is the lack of large appliances and large technology.
