Hemingway would definitely be on my list. If you don't mind my asking, what's your favorite novel of his?
You have excellent taste! lol I would have to say A Moveable Feast would be my favorite novel. Although it is not a traditional novel, it delves into the highs and lows, the recesses and corners of Hemingway as he struggled to perfect his craft and hone his skill. You get a true sense of the atmosphere of Paris at the time and the engaging ex-pats he associated with. It was a marvelous time for literature!
I have read some of A Moveable Feast and definitely agree that it's a great novel. I tried to read it during the thick of grad school and when reading got heavy for other classes, it got dropped. I should really finish it though. My favorite is The Sun Also Rises. I know it's about the Lost Generation, but it still resonates almost 100 years later for me. Hemingway writes about life with such honesty and simplicity in that novel, that I can't help but love it.
Absolutely! It's the bare truth and raw emotion I adore.
