easy read classics book club discussion

Did you like the book?

hi everyone!

I finished the book last week, and i think it was a really great book.. it did really capture the moment (i imagine) of paris life in the 1920's... I loved the simple language. But still it had a lot going on between the lines. i will certanly read some of his other books.. very soon!

Anne Sofie Loves Mozart

I absolutely love this book ... it's one of the best books on Paris ever written, and also one of my all-time favorites by Hemingway. Beautiful language that, as you said, perfectly captures the Paris of the time between the wars -- AND great lessons on writing being provided en passant. It's also much lighter in tone than most of his other work ... and I get a kick out of his antagonism with Gertrude Stein, though I suspect I would not have wanted to be on the receiving end of EITHER of their witticisms!

Have you read The Sun Also Rises? If not, that might be a good one to follow up with (also in part set in Paris, during that same time, but fiction).

after i read a moveable feast, i went down to the library and borrowed the sun also rises... i'm really looking forward to read it :)
