Oh, I wanted to love this so much more than i did. I love the topics the book gives space to, but i found myself skimming more than i wanted to and not absorbing as much as i often do of Solnit's work. Perhaps there was too much name-and-book-dropping to let my mind really wander. Perhaps i'm just less interested in Paris than i should or could be. The last few chapters were the most interesting to me: Vegas and lady-walking.
