What a time it must have been. Next on my list is "Everybody Was So Young" and of course a bit of Hemingway!Janet Brownhttp://janetshouse.typepad.com/janets-house/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502245000248725118.post-71272028403693215262011-10-19T09:01:52.437-07:002011-10-19T09:01:52.437-07:00wonderful post and subject!

We were moving too fast to see and experience what was actually there in front of us. These writers showed me there was a different kind of life to be lived, and way to see the world. I guess it's really a dream from which i have still yet to awaken.
