Islands in the Stream was a beautiful book, but i wouldn't expect less from Hemingway. I love that the title serves the double purpose of describing both the physical location of the islands in the Gulf Stream, and the the episodic narrative that recounts "islands" in the stream of the Tom's life.

I'm reading Suzanne's Diary for Nicolas right now--it's engaging, and sappy, and romantic...a good one-day beach read.

France was amazing. I still need to transcribe my journal entries to this page.....
