A Moveable Feast

First Hemingway I've read; I was very skeptical that I would enjoy his writing and I remain a facetious reader of his but there's something about him. I would have given this three stars just for the ridiculousness of “Secret Pleasures” but I found it in my heart to forgive him it.

“In writing there are many secrets too. Nothing is ever lost no matter how it seems at the time and what is left out will always show and make the strength of what is left in. Some say that in writing you can never possess anything until you have given it away or, if you are in a hurry, you may have to throw it away.”
