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”
sounds well worth a read, and hard to ignore –

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 🙂

Great. There are parts (a few, hunting elephants, that didn’t sit well with me) but the rest, a wonder.
