You should give "Farewell" another shot. It has a striking opening (so
much for those who say E.H. writes in short, choppy sentences) that is
beautiful in its language and rhythms
. . .
I dare say (stepping out onto a plank) that I am most definitely in the
camp of Hemingway admirers here. I sometimes eat and sleep Hemingway.
I'm glad that the Properness Police have abated somewhat, so that one
doesn't get automatically classified as a bigot or a sexist for
appreciating him.
For those who can't get enough Hemingway, there is a good recording at
www.mp3lit.com of his introduction to "The Fifth Column." It's
fascinating to hear his spoken voice after "hearing" his written voice
for so long.

You should definately give Farewell another shot, Gene. If you still
have trouble sticking to it, I recommend one of my favorites, _Across
the River and into the Trees_. Incidentally, that very book, I believe,
is mentioned in another little gem that can be found on www.mp3lit.com:
"An excerpt from 'How Do You Like It Now, Gentleman?'
Lillian Ross on Ernest Hemingway, read by Philip Bosco."
