3.0

Hemingway says that when he explained to people that he just up and left his life to travel, they'd always express some envy. I totally understand this. It's not always just wanderlust-- there's something fundamentally human about wanting to escape, to have no commitments. I certainly identify.

Still, though, I wasn't completely enamored of this book. It was certainly funny in places, but it isn't my favorite of his. The best parts are not the funny ones--but when he realizes that reacquainting himself with America means acquainting himself with some pretty nasty individuals.
