I don't know you, but i saw some books on your shelfari and thought they were pretty interesting. Got any recommendations of some good books to add to my "plan on reading list"?
Hey, I didn't realize you'd been on so recently. I wrote to Shelfari to ask them if they'd make me an admin on the Hemingway group to monitor spam. They put me up there. Hope you don't mind?
Someone posted a spam post on the Hemingway group. If you get on here again, would you delete it?
I just returned from a trip to Spain which included a visit to Hemingway's stomping ground Pamplona. After seeing the bull ring, his beloved Iruna Bar where he drank and drank and drank and the hotel where he stayed, I need to re read The Sun Also Rises.
Ever read the Undefeated by Hemingway. Manuel is the classic Hemingway hero. I made some notes on it in the Hemingway group.
I love Michael Reynolds' bios of Hemingway--I've read a few, but his, to me, are the best!
My favorite is The Sun Also Rises, and The Garden of Eden joined the ranks when I read it this summer. Some of the, I thought, revolutionary themes in that novel really hit home for me. I'll explain in a private note if you'd like. Ironically, the first three Hemingway books I ever read were The Sun Also Rises, The Old Man & the Sea, and For Whom The Bell Tolls. And I hated Hemingway. I didn't necessarily hate the books, but I was like... who IS this guy? Anyway, in highschool we were given an author project. We had to write a large report and fill an hour with a presentation. I chose Hemingway because I thought i could do a good critical analysis and I fell in love. I tend to love the dead guys. One other thing, I got into an arguement years ago with someone who said that For Whom The Bell Tolls was a love story. I argued against it, saying that there was a relationship in the book, but that the defining factor of the book was not that it was a 'love story'. I have to re read it, I don't remember much about it anymore except that I always wanted to just chop my hair off the way she does and have a long lean tan body and go around saying MUCK forever, but what do you think?
Wish you'd join our short story discussions in your Hemingway group. What is your favorite Hemingway, by the way?
Thanks for adding me as a friend. I hope you had a great weekend.
Yes, hemingway in ficyion. I and two others are rereading the hemingway short stories. You should join our discussion in the Hemingway Group.jerry-book
Looks like we have read a lot of the same authors: Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Kerouac, Faulkner, etc. Do you have a favorite?jerry-book
Great profile and interesting shelf; any shelf that has only two books on it that I have read is a mystery! I'll have to look into some of those.
excellent profile, very becoming
