Read any good books lately?

[Maryann]

I found The Old Man and the Sea (will be my first time reading Hemmingway), The Last Resort, and Far Tortuga at the library last night. It was too late for me to order Rasta Heart from Amazon and I couldn't find it at the library, so I'm going to keep that in mind for my next trip. Have already read the Don Juan series (loved). Started reading Jeff Long's The Descent last night and had a hard time putting it down. Might be finished with those books before I even leave! Thanks so much for the suggestions!

p.s. After starting The Descent, I'm thankful to be staying on the beach because this story takes place in caves. Should have probably started it when I got back because it kind of freaks me out!

Hi Maryann,

Glad to see you found Old Man and The Sea and Far Tortuga, please post your impressions when finished. While in Negril be sure and check Miss Brown and have a big portion of her World Famous Tea. Enjoy your trip!!

Regards,
John

Maryann,

The Old Man in the Sea was written by Hemingway when he lived in Cuba. It's an easy but great read. He was a huge fisherman. If you're ever in Key West there is a Hemingway museum that was his old house. Be patient with Far Tortuga as it has some slow spots but all in all I think you'll enjoy it.
