[​IMG] she was suffering from emotional constipation,i hope shell read this book and feel better and relaxed than. [​IMG]

    I'm reading True At First Light by Ernest Hemingway. It was edited by his son, and like true Hemingway prose and fashion it blurs the lines between memoir and story-sweeping fiction.

    It's perfect so far. It has just the right amount of rhinoceros stampeding narrow escapes, Kamba-filled cultural quirks and romantic sub-plot woes.

    (Don't you love how Hemingway always makes romance in a novel out to be a minor subplot?)

    Anyway, this book was published in 1999, well after his death. I am about half way through, and I love the book. I've always wanted to go to Kenya someday. I'd recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn a bit more about Africa and who wants to get a good sense of the beautiful scenery.
