ferd - Iam not a huge Hemmingway fan. I occasionaly read his stuff(his stuff rocks). I happen to stumble across this quote when I was in the Student Union a few weeks ago. My sister on the other hand is a huge fan of Hemmingway and has numbers of books just laying around the house. Once in a while I get into one of the moods and start reading....very very interesting material....I respect this man to the highest regard. Out of the few that I have read..I would say For Whom The Bell Tolls is simply the best. The way he brought the war(spanish civil war) into realism(for text) was amazing. I started to read Garden of Eden few weeks back...got about half way done, and didnt finish it for some reason.
