Reading - The Sun Also Rises

Recently Read:

 The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway. Ahh the joys of reading on a plane…on vacation…without a toddler! I took this book with me last weekend on my trip to Portland and was able to finish it rather quickly! I do like Hemingway…I like the way he writes. However, I did not like this book as much as the other two that I’ve read (For Whom The Bell Tolls and A Farewell to Arms). I felt like there really wasn’t much to the story and I honestly did not get a lot of the interaction between characters…I still give it 3 out of 5.

Recently Started:

Still: Notes on a Mid-Faith Crisis by Lauren F. Winner. I took this little gem with my on my trip as well. I was able to get about 60 pages into it after finishing The Sun Also Rises and before my plane started its turbulent descent! I know! You’re thinking ‘Ellie, why did you start another book when you have 2 sitting there waiting to be finished!’ Well, 1) Lauren Winner is definitely in my top 3 favorite authors so when her new book came out I was excited! 2) Beth lent it to me along with a suitcase to take on my trip and I know she has other people waiting in line to read it, so I wanted to get it started. I don’t think it will take too long to finish and already really thought-provoking!
