Big fan of the ol gray beard.

I consider his wife the original Courtney Love.. Guy was getting electro shock therapies because his wife insisted by some accounts though I cant know for sure.

http://www.nytimes.com/books/99/07/04/specials/hemingway-obit.html

I always found it odd she had to be sedated the day he died. His repetitive brain injuries could have given him CET like alot of footballers. Depression ran in the family.

I guess I have a hard time believing my hero and favorite author was as human as we are.

I read the sun also rises when I was 12 and thought I knew what love was.

I enjoy his work, but I don't enjoy how English profs over-analyze his work. Don't get me wrong, his stories have a lot of depth and hidden meaning, but if I ever have to listen to someone go line by line analyzing why two specific words were put next to each other as opposed to two others, I'll be sick.

Yeah, over-analyzing Hemingway has always seemed overload to me.

He always wrote things clean and to the core to me, what is written is just there.

Granted it does lead to making you think about other things, but most of the time it is what he intended you to think about to begin with.
