I've tried reading Hemingway before and he just wasn't doing it for me. Those sentences! Just give some adjectives, please. Just a few. Is that so much to ask?
My friend Joanna recommend A Moveable Feast a while back and after seeing Midnight in Paris (If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend you stop reading my blog and go watch it, but come back!), I thought I would give it a try.
It was wonderful; what a great read. I enjoyed every moment of it.
I might even read some more Hemingway! Where should I start? Any recommendations?
Hemingway and friends in Paris
(via)
A Moveable Feast is a series of stories about Hemingway's time living the expatriate life Paris in the 1920s. He's quit journalism and is trying to make it as a writer along with other members of the "Lost Generation." Love, loss, hunger, poverty, joy, sorrow - he covers in his pared-down, signature style. I didn't need all sorts of flowery adjectives to visualize all that I was reading.

I am not a huge fan of Hemingway's novels, but his short stories imo are spectatcular. One of my favorite books ever is his short story collection - In Our Time.
I'm happy you liked it! The Sun Also Rises is a good next one :)
