Bohemians of the Latin Quarter, Henri Murger
The Bohemians of the Latin Quarter takes
place in Paris and in the 1840s. It is a
story of several artistic types: a poet,
painter, musician, and philosopher who
meet up by chance and create a little
confederation between themselves. When one
prospers, they all prosper, and they live
recklessly and extravagantly. Instead of
sticking a little of their good fortune
away for a rainy day they spend all they
have until they are once again destitute.

The Troll in the Garden and other Stories, Willa Cather
The Troll in the Garden and other Stories is a collection of short stories by Willa Cather, which depict life in Nebraska, Kansas, and Montana, for the most part. Interesting frontier characters and a few cosmopolitans thrown in for a change of pace.
The Bohemians of the Latin Quarter tells of the artists affairs: their successes, their impoverished times, and of their mistresses.
Although there were a few times when the story seemed to drag on, all and all the story was interesting and entertaining.
