For those who are married, who made the first move?

By that time, though, he had other things to worry about. He had been taken in hand by a lady who hoped to rise with the magazine. She was very forceful, and Cohn never had a chance of not being taken in hand. Also he was sure that he loved her. -Hemingway

Me....I was too impatient to wait for him to make the first move

@NCCindy and she never had regrets. Lol

@Mmiker Very true ...
He did - after some 19 years of dating, and it took me completely by surprise.

What draws you to Hemmingway?
@thisgenericnamehere Yeah, we became good friends within the first six months - and eventually we just... fitted.
@thisgenericnamehere That's the gift of his writing - sounding like it's coming from inside the mind of the narrator - and nothing corny or predictable. The racing yacht is lean, streamlined, trimmed down - exactly as one might notice in a fit and healthy young woman. He implies the sexual attraction without stating it explicitly - "and you missed none of it"... the eyes as male erogenous zone, but also builing the characterisation - she dresses modestly in wool jersey.

What else is on your to-read list for this year?
Which will you choose first?
What do you enjoy most in a novel?

@hartfire I am going to have to really push to make my goal, so I won't be picky. I figure I will just cruise through modernist era literature.

She did. I was slow.

My wife. I was trying to be respectful and she was tired of waiting.
