As always, we welcome anyone who loves to read. Please join us for our discussion. Short of time? Consider books on tape and downloads to your iPod or MP3 player. Remember you can use your library card at any Fairfield County Library to check out this month’s selection.

Book: A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway
Description – J.Yardley, The Washington Post:
“Sometime in 1960 Ernest Hemingway completed a memoir of his years in Paris from 1921 to 1926. “If the reader prefers,” he wrote in a three-paragraph preface, “this book may be regarded as fiction. But there is always the chance that such a book of fiction may throw some light on what has been written as fact.” He did not submit the manuscript for publication, and the next year he was dead. …Three years later the manuscript was published as “A Moveable Feast.” The title apparently was chosen by Hemingway’s widow, Mary, who recalled words he had written to a friend in 1950: “If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.”"
