I'm looking forward to reading The Sum Also Rises but at the same time I'm a little bit afraid, I hope I'll like it!Melissa Vizcarrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335640822153174745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2892633482640405565.post-18501927204153899602013-02-08T03:10:30.728-05:002013-02-08T03:10:30.728-05:00You way you're conquering Hemingway is impress...You way you're conquering Hemingway is impressive! I wasn't enamored with The Sun Also Rises as a silly undergraduate, and I've never given him another chance. I should overcome my juvenile prejudice and dig in.

If I could move to anywhere in the world, it would probably be England. I love English literature and history so much.<br /><br />You should definitely come to Peru, specially if you are a student of Spanish!Melissa Vizcarrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335640822153174745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2892633482640405565.post-17773516774179024192013-02-05T16:18:56.458-05:002013-02-05T16:18:56.458-05:00I should give Hemingway another chance too!

I always thought that he would be an author I'd like. <br /><br />As I said before, I would recommend Mrs Dalloway if you struggle with To The Lighthouse again - I found it a lot more readable. Though I agree that reading a translation can really affect your perception of a text.<br /><br />I hope that you manage to visit England some day! Peru does sound far more interesting to me, however...Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15103141646225036708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2892633482640405565.post-34971434435627196702013-02-04T16:40:37.228-05:002013-02-04T16:40:37.228-05:00Lucy, you are right!

I hated The Old Man and The Sea and loved A Moveable Feast, that's why I'm giving Hemingway another chance. <br />I've heard many people say they had a hard time with To The Lighthouse. I actually started reading it last year and had a little trouble too, but I thought it was because I was reading a translation. I'm going to give it another try in English.<br /><br />I actually wish I was in chilly, rainy England! I've always wanted to go, hope I get to do that some day.Melissa Vizcarrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335640822153174745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2892633482640405565.post-21618491853969022052013-02-04T16:31:36.230-05:002013-02-04T16:31:36.230-05:00I can't imagine heat when I'm in chilly, r...I can't imagine heat when I'm in chilly, rainy England!<br /><br />I need to give Hemingway another chance - I couldn't help comparing A Farewell to Arms to bad translations that I've read, even if it is supposed to be that way.<br /><br />However, although I couldn't get into To The Lighthouse I adored Mrs Dalloway and The Waves. It just shows that you shouldn't give up on an author after one book!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15103141646225036708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2892633482640405565.post-12662354982419403912013-02-02T11:55:38.989-05:002013-02-02T11:55:38.989-05:00Yep, more Hemingway!

Being in the middle of the desert, there's really no rain and the few times a very weak drizzle falls, the next day the heat gets even worse!<br /><br />Have a nice month you too! :)Melissa Vizcarrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335640822153174745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2892633482640405565.post-4493902406932995202013-02-02T11:02:38.329-05:002013-02-02T11:02:38.329-05:00Awesome plans!

And the worst part is that I can't even properly wish for rain, because when it does, the river gets dirty and the water is brown for a week.<br />Have a nice month!Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12456284399025708010noreply@blogger.com
