THE POWER OF ART - ROTHKO
THE SUN ALSO RISES - ERNEST HEMINGWAY CAPTERS 16 TO 19
Montoya arrived to see Jake with the concern that the American Ambassador was trying to get Pedro to have dinner with him. Montoya is worried because he thinks that Pedro has a good career ahead of him.
Later on, at the dining room, Pedro joins Brett & Jake. They drink & chat for a while. Brett is absolutely marvelled with Pedro.
Mike was tight & got into a fight with Cohn again. Cohn was determined to stay no matter what Mike did.
Jake takes Brett away & they talk about their old love. Jake confesses to still love Brett & Brett claims she is in love with Pedro. She was feeling bad for having Mike & Cohn fight & she felt worse for loving Pedro. Jake & Brett went looking for Pedro. They found him on a cafe. Brett & Pedro went home together.
I have to say that at this point I'm finding it quite hard to keep on reading. It's not that it's a bad book or story, but I do feel like things take forever to happen. They spend too much time drinking & talking. Definitely not the kind of books I'm used to reading. I have 2 chapters more to read & I just can't concentrate. I shall keep on going....
What a surpise, the Fiesta is over and the gang goes back home, but Brett. When Jake arrives home, he receives a telegram from Brett saying that she has some trouble & that she needs him. She is in Madrid, so Jake sets off to rescue the damsel in distress. The book ends with Brett & Jake imagining their life together.
It is not a terrible story, but there comes a point where you get bored of coffee breaks & small talk.
THE SUN ALSO RISES - ERNEST HEMINGWAY CAPTERS 13 TO 15
A letter from Mike puts an end to Jake's & Bill's fishing trip. Brett is feeling better & the gang is ready to continue the journey so Bill & Mike return to Pamplona to meet the rest.
The Pamplonada began!! People everywhere, drinking, dancing, laughing. Everywhere you looked something was happening. The gang went to the bulls. Cohn got a little sick while Brett loved the show.
Things are still not fine between Mike & Cohn. Mike is upset because Cohn keeps getting in between him and Brett.
Jake gets invited by Montoya to meet the torero Pedro. He is the best & he is also really young.
So far things are working. So close to the final book....

Bill & Jake continued their journey & went fishing. They both are getting a little annoyed by Cohns attitude, & they are enjoying this "alone" time.
So what are Cohn & Brett doing? Who is Brett in love with, Jake or Cohn or Mike!?
