"A Moveable Feast" is one of my favourite books. No one has ever described Paris in the 1920s better than Hemingway. He gives his thoughts on social equity, ex-patriation and emigration, art during the crisis, etc. Hemingway and his wife, young and happy lived high on low or almost no money. It's still a feast, though sometimes a Spartan one. The story makes you smile and gives hope.
