Tuesday Morning Wake-Up Call

January 18, 2022 by 37 Comments

It’s no good telling yourself that one day you will wish you had never made that change. It is no good anticipating regrets. Every tomorrow ought not to resemble every yesterday.

― Beryl Markham, West with the Night (first published in 1942)

I called B.S. when I read this testimonial by Ernest Hemingway. And then I read it. Wow. What a writer.  If you have an Audible membership, this book is free with the membership.  In the must read category.

“…she has written so well, and marvellously well, that I was completely ashamed of myself as a writer…she can write rings around all of us…I wish you would get it and read it because it is really a bloody wonderful book.” — Ernest Hemingway, in a letter to Maxwell Perkins”

    Is it so delicious that you have the Kindle version so you can highlight left, right and centre?

    And if I’m not mistaken, they were friends with benefits or lovers or both…and she was a notable writer in her own right…Just started getting into Audible a bit – I’ll try it with your recommendation!!

    If Hemingway says so, it IS! He was not known for handing out compliments like candies on Halloween…. I take no more suggestions for books to read – not even from you 🙂

    Oh. My. God…. This book is insanely beautifully written… I half regret that I’m listening to it rather than read but July Harris is so wonderful…
    Thank you!
