Bookshop's review
A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway
Knowing my habit of writing, a friend told me to read this book. He told me to try and describe a meal in detail like in this book and find how challenging it is. I was intrigued and went a bought a copy.
I was supposed to read this before my trip to Paris. But, for me, reading is a whimsical affair and my choice is often random. I didn't feel like reading this then so I keep it until now. I am reading Bill Clinton's My Life when, yesterday, I felt like something light (literally) for a break. So I searched my bookshelf and found this thin volume. Little did I know that I spent my whole Saturday evening reading until 3 AM. This book is captivating in its simplicity.
Ideally, I should read this book before and after Paris but, nevertheless, it is still fun to read it after. I can still imagine the scenes described in my head. One thing for sure, I was lucky to have entered Shakespeare & Co which by now doesn't belong to the original owner, Sylvia Beach, anymore.
