Ah, Paris....
Like so many others that were shocked and sadden by the recent bombings in Paris I sought solace in the familiar. What better way to honor that lovely city than with a re-read of Hemingway's "A Moveable Feast?" I went to order the book as I had long since given my copy away when I discovered there is now a "revised" edition. I have mixed feeling on "revisions" (go ahead, ask me how I feel about 'Anne Frank' revisions) and this one is getting some rather mixed reviews. Apparently a grandson was not thrilled with how his grandmother (Hemingway's second wife) was portrayed so he revised "A Moveable Feast" more to his liking. I have been teeter-tottering on which to read, the original or the revised. I suppose for the sake of nostalgia it will have to be the original. C'est la vie.......

Will you read Danish Girl first or watch the film first? I only ask because I'd love to see the movie, and may not have patience or time enough to read the book first. Ah, predicaments...

Reading various scripts for potential theatre projects next year; even though I said I'd take a break from directing. Oh well.

I've been feeling the urge to read the Lord of the Ring trilogy again, so I obviously had to start with "The Hobbit".

I'm curious about the author. Have you read her works before? A friend just lent me The Thing Around your neck. Looking forward to the read.

This is the first book of hers I've read. I started it last spring and then had to put it down for a bit. I packed it for a train ride the other day and got 130 pages in and am hooked. Very much looking forward to reading her other works. A friend of mine told me that all 11th graders in a high school in Sweden were given a copy of her book We Should All Be Feminists.
