If I learned something from Woody Allen's "Midnight In Paris" is that Hemingway used the word "courage" more than all other words in his vocabulary combined, and that he was the worst player ever:
HEMINGWAY: "Picasso thinks that women are only for sleeping or painting..."
LADY: "What do you think, monsieur?"
HEMINGWAY: "I think a woman is equal to a man in courage. Have you ever shot a charging lion?"
LADY: "No..."
HEMINGWAY:"Would you like to know what that feels like?"
LADY:"No."
Lol wtf ??? Hemingway, the literary monster, should know that women who aren't lesbos couldn't care less about charging lions or what it feels to shoot them. But then, Woody Allen was probably a little jealous of Hemingway.

Hemingway sounds like a guy who puts the pussy on a pedestal. Probably would have no problem eating the pussy of whores like Milo's does.
Was he gay?

I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned that Hemingway was a ragin' alcoholic. The man could drink ! Lol. And drink, and drink, and drink, etc., etc.
As far as his work is concerned, I like it. :)

But don't forget what time he was living in, in that time a man was very much judged by the amount he could drink, they had different rollemodels - the rugged, silent, hard drinking adventurer - for one

He knew how to pick up cats, I toured his house in Key West once I believe he had 64 cats once so they keep 64 on the property all the time in his memory. Wonder how much cat shit is produced each day?

I've seen the same thing but they were reading Jack Kerouac's On the Road. Nothing against the book but to many suburban kids think that reading On the Road makes them rebellious.

Bit dated now, but I never got that book. Didn't get Catcher in the Rye, either.

you seem the type who dreamt about writing but like many other failures you resorted to showing your "flair" on getbig :D

I really liked some of his stuff. The Sun Also Rises for example.

You should get tested for toxo-plasma. Comes from cat shit.

Whenever I walk by a book store, I always have to buy the book Catcher in the Rye. I have over 100 copies of it. lol

Old man and the Sea was probably his best piece but i haven't read the rest. A Call to Arms was fucking garbage. He gets shelled while eating pasta and cheese and then the rest of the book is in the hospital. Just terrible. J.K. Rowling owns Hemingway I'm sad to say rofl.

Most of my readings are nonfiction unfortunately but i can recollect a few books that i read that i enjoyed. I thought The Giver was a good book. I enjoyed The Hobbit but couldn't bring myself to read the Lord of the Rings series. I will get flamed for this but think The Harry Potter series was excellent but i started reading those when i was 12. A Wrinkle in Time, Z for Zacharia, etc.. etc. These aren't really what you would consider classics though and i am sure i will be flamed for them.

A Wrinkle in Time was a great book so was Z for Zachariah

Read the first two Harry Potter books. The writing is mediocre, but her choice of names is clever. Philip Pullman writes circles around Rowling but gets a fraction of her readership. Ah, well.

Sev maybe cephissus (isn't that an STD) likes them young dumb and full of his cum ;D

Try The Sun Also Sets or An Immovable Beast.

Are your saying that Mrs. Frisby is in actuality, smarter than one of the Rats from Nihm?

This is the bad thing about a Kindle, nobody can tell what book you are reading + be impressed.

Nah, I won't flame you for that. If anything, I felt kind of bad about saying you had shit literary tastes. I know, Getbig and all :), but I usually don't play that way.
Besides, A Wrinkle In Time is a classic. And hell, for what they are, the Potter books are very good.
I figure you'd enjoy Hemingway more if you had a good teacher. If some tired old hag of a bored 11th grade English teacher forced you to read The Old Man and the Sea, it's little doubt you've a curious take on Papa. Try some of his short stories. I think that's the hardest-hitting shit. Some of it will seem trivial at first, but someone as smart as you will probably pick up on how the man could convey such rich detail and information with relatively few words.

Hemingway is good with imagery i will give him that. If i can't get sucked into a book though it usually isn't worth reading. I tried to read Al Gores Assault on Raisins and couldn't finish it. He wasn't really giving me anything to earth shattering there. Mein Kampf was more entertaining to me then Hemingway and that turns into a bunch of ramblings.

People who claim Hemingway was a shitty writer are probably tabloid and sports pages readers. Hemingway is the only American author on the level of Dostoevsky, Shakespeare and Homer. All other American writers and novelists, like Faulkner, are only the best in America. Hemingway is the greatest American writer ever.

I haven't read everything that either dude penned but H & D are apples & oranges, nevermind S & H. Historical context, etc.
What about Elliot? I just wikipediaed him and he looks mucho significante.

Dostoevsky was a rather mediocre writer who produced wastelands of literary platitudes.
