If I can resist Shakespeare with a challenge that is a complete flop so far, I think I can resist anything! ;-)Cleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152128642971612433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495382709151625398.post-60128940614550809422014-06-02T23:54:51.199-07:002014-06-02T23:54:51.199-07:00Yes, short books are my friend right now.

I'm not a huge fan of the stories he tells, but the way he writes just entrances me.

When I saw the read-along, I was excited to have the chance to read the book with other readers.<br /><br />I first read Hemingway when I was about 20. I did not like his writing but, for the life of me, I can't remember why. I'll wait to reveal how I felt this time. It will be interesting to hear about your reaction to him the second time 'round.Cleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152128642971612433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495382709151625398.post-9496814240339267642014-05-31T08:23:47.663-07:002014-05-31T08:23:47.663-07:00I thought you were refraining from tempting me wit...I thought you were refraining from tempting me with new reads for the currently reading list of mine that is out of control.<br /><br />End of July, short book and would actually count for my TBR challenge.....so I guess I shall be creating an intro post soon.Plethorahttp://bookchallenges.weebly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7495382709151625398.post-54266355662798647042014-05-31T06:28:46.833-07:002014-05-31T06:28:46.833-07:00Ooh.

While I'm a fan of Hemingway's writing, this book left me cold when I first read it, so I'm interested to see if hosting the read-along will help me appreciate it, or help me figure out why I didn't/don't care for it.
