Or should I say, quasi fantastique. Hardly recommendable to anyone though – you’ve sorta gotta come to it on your own terms. And certainly no mums should be reading it, although I dare her – no seriously, don’t, unless you’re really comfortable with the c-word. <br /><br />A Moveable Feast was lovely and nice with just a hint of sadness to remind us all to live humbly within our simple lives.mindful mulehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04351688583487129714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7284583805508577681.post-44623540691144008452011-04-02T22:26:35.368-07:002011-04-02T22:26:35.368-07:00Nope.

I like the idea that every single date should be its own party, or, if you're lucky, every single meal of every day should.JustinMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976061296214532098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7284583805508577681.post-17257863264761645522011-04-02T11:51:36.410-07:002011-04-02T11:51:36.410-07:00Justin: Hemingway’s title jumped at me because of ...Justin: Hemingway’s title jumped at me because of your blog title, of course. I see (now) that’s it’s also listed as one of your favorite books. I just came across John Baxter’s book Immovable Feast: A Paris Christmas. It all seems linked together, Paris, Food, Blogs… Was this all apart of your thought process when naming your blog?mindful mulehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04351688583487129714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7284583805508577681.post-43271335063474645202011-04-02T09:21:09.423-07:002011-04-02T09:21:09.423-07:00There is no question that I much prefer A Moveable...There is no question that I much prefer A Moveable Feast to anything else Hemingway wrote. The machismo that inflated as he grew older and just seemed silly is not present; this is more a (blissfully) unsentimental look back at a time that was undoubtedly sentimental. <br /><br />I much prefer the witty observations and intellectual curiosity of this young Hemingway to the swagger of his more famous novels.JustinMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976061296214532098noreply@blogger.com
