A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway


This was an enjoyable book. It still doesn't displace The Old Man and the Sea as my favorite Hemingway novel.

In a nut shell this is a story of Hemingway's time in Paris in the 1920's as part of the Lost Generation.

I particularly enjoyed the chapters concerning F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda.

Another thing to note is how Hemingway already considered himself a great writer. I'm surprised at this since for the majority of the book he hadn't published The Sun Also Rises yet. Perhaps it's either Hemingway's notorious ego or that fact that this was written towards the end of his life.

Anyway, this is a good yet short read, check it out.
