I promise I haven't disappeared completely, I've just been a bit lambasted by this Ernest Hemingway class I'm taking. I haven't decided yet whether I "like" his writing or not, some of it I definitely don't, but his description of things is so captivating. The Sun Also Rises I had some trouble with, because there were so many characters and they all seemed to be saying the same things over and over to each other without getting anywhere, which was probably the point, but didn't appeal to me. (I didn't like Great Gatsby, either, so sue me.) Farewell to Arms I really think I enjoyed, though. I'm not sure because I read it so quickly, but I definitely enjoyed it more, at the very least. I like having one character to focus on, and I love something Hemingway does with inner-monologuing and how things get tangled and confused in someone's head.
Now I'm moving on to For Whom the Bell Tolls, which I don't really know anything about, except that most people I've talked to say it's their favorite. Will I agree? Who knows?
I participated in a poetry reading last night, to celebrate the end of April Poetry month, but that's another story for another day. (Meaning I'll be back tomorrow!)
