#tlt @dabbe

dabbe A few of these are on my TBR, too! Now I have to ask, any particular reason why you loathe Hemingway? I've only read a few of his short stories and have never wanted to tackle his novels. 😂 Thanks for playing and sharing. 🩶🩵🩶 2mo

lil1inblue @dabbe I've read 3 or 4 novels by him. Each one was an utter slog to get through. I just couldn't connect. I find his writing to be self-indulgent. I also think he was an a$$ and a misogynist, and I do think that comes through in his writing. 2mo

lil1inblue @TheBookHippie 😂 😂 😂 Absolutely no worries. Different strokes for different folks, right! 😉 2mo

TheBookHippie @lil1inblue Ha. Should be said I fell in love with his short stories 30 plus years ago, along with being deeply troubled, he was helpful to women writers. Hemingway's early works, like Cat in the Rain, showed a feminist perspective that focused on women's social and gender role. So yes he could be self involved and misogynist, as well but I don‘t read it that way most of the time. Some of his prose about heartbreak is just so good. 😅🙃🤪🤷🏻‍♀️😂 2mo

lil1inblue @TheBookHippie That's fair. I don't think I've read any of his short stories (if I did, I don't remember), so perhaps my opinion is a bit uninformed. I will say I think there is value in the conversations about his writing - both the good and the bad. I don't regret reading his books - even if I didn't care for them, they made me think. I just don't think I could force myself to read any more. 😂 2mo

TheBookHippie @lil1inblue I have that with many authors 😂😂😂 2mo

This book serves as a great symbol of what different families and cultures are made of! The illustrations are great. It is a burning story about food, love, culture, and family!

This book would be an amazing addition to classroom library. I believe that it would be an excellent book to help students learn about different cultures and the different histories that are still present in America.
