1920s The Lost Generation
Neglected elderly; charities wasting money; tipping your server: Monday Moaning
"Ernest Hemingway was part of the "lost generation" in the 1920s. There is now a new "lost generation" that no one seems to care about. I deliver Meals on Wheels to about 20 senior citizens who live in very nicely appointed homes, cluster homes or apartments. Of the 20 clients not one has a computer, not one has a cellphone and not one cares about Facebook, iPods or Twitter. They all have cable TV, read the newspaper, listen to the news and support the Cleveland Indians and Browns. I, too am part of this "lost generation." I have no computer, cellphone or iPod. We are told if we want information or want to participate in society, the only way is through dot-com. There are millions of seniors nationwide who are neglected or disregarded by a society that is obsessed with technology. How sad."

"My moan is with charities that enclose address labels, notepads and nickels. But the practice that bothers me the most is charities that enclose a return envelope with a 44-cent stamp. I imagine hundreds and hundreds of these envelopes are simply thrown out wasting hundreds of dollars that the charity could put to good use. It bothers my mind to think of the waste of good money."

"I think it is time for us all to admit that the Bush administration economic policy of cutting the taxes and continuing to spend for almost 20 years combined for two unfunded wars, which were started without any exit strategy, bought about a great depression not just a great recession. Just as Republican Herbert Hoover did in the 1930s, George Bush chose to ignore everything until it was too late. He left a colossal mess for President Obama."

"In response to last Monday's complaint on tipping : Servers depend on their tips to live on. We only make $3.65 and hour, and no one can live on that. Not only do we have to serve you, we have to buss your table, make your salad, and cash you out with our own bank. We also have to tip other people in the restaurant -- bartenders, hostesses and food runners. Please remember that when you go out to eat."
-- Brook Park
"To the moaner from Cleveland Heights who did not feel obligated to leave a tip: You are correct. You are not obligated. However, it is courteous to do so. My son has been a server for many years in many major cities, and he works very hard to make a good living. He is paid far less than minimum wage for being on his feet all day or night, giving his customers the kind of service they expect. He would not be able to pay the bills without tips. Perhaps the laws should be changed so these dedicated servers are paid a decent salary, but until then, if you can't afford to leave your server a tip, or choose not to because you are not obligated, then you should stay home.

The “lost generation” is mustering for war. This is not a cri de coeur for the failed and failing. Nor is it a lament for the impoverished. Mob violence, despicable and inexcusable, must always be condemned. But those terrorising and trashing London

As I think I’ve mentioned before, I’m generally wary about tackling new authors. That’s particularly true when they’re tackling well known, well loved, and well respected writers like Ernest Hemingway. After reading a sample, however, I was hooked. In fact, I liked the book so much that I stopped reading it halfway through because I didn’t want it to be over. I finished it just last week, finally, and immediately knew I had to get its name out there.
The book revolves around Ernest years before he became Papa Ernest. He wasn’t long home from the war when he married his first wife, and his feelings on the traumas he went through greatly affect his marriage. He isn’t faithful and he isn’t always likeable – nor is the rest of the Lost Generation, at least through McLain’s eyes, yet her love for and respect of the 1920s shines through every word.
Don’t be afraid to try a new writer, especially if you like the literature of the expatriates, and 1920s, and the Lost Generation. This book is more than worth the read and it’s beautifully written – one of the best contemporary novels I’ve had the pleasure to read in a very long time.
