Finished reading THE SUN ALSO RISES by Ernest Hemingway today 2018-07-23.

It was an interesting comparison to go straight to his first novel after reading A MOVEABLE FEAST, one of his last works. He's rougher here, but has more energy to him. Even though I admire his stripped-down, punchy style, I find myself kept a little at arms-length by something and don't totally enjoy reading his work. I'll take a break before I read anything else of his.
