I dislike Hemingway in general, but I thought this book was hilarious, especially Hemingway's road trip with Fitzgerald.

Which copy am I supposed to stay away from? I heard one of them has been edited heavily. Is it the "restored edition"?

Yeah Scotty was a real head case
Remember when papa helped him with his penis envy

I've read both it doesn't really matter bro. unless you are a hemingway historian or just really enjoy him I don't think you miss much.

Look at Sylvia in the back there, that haggard look on her face. What shit could Joyce have been showing her to provoke that?

George RR Martin's recent blog post about it was pretty cute as well:

I love Hemingway's outfit, people used to look so good and elegant back then

Thanks, I enjoyed reading that !

This is now an Ernest Hemingway thread. Please don't let it sink !

You didn't read it, you're just repeating the opinion you've heard a dozen times before.

why so incendiary? it's a 200 page book and as someone who read it, the field trip with scotty was the obvious highlight. why are you so angry?

I like the one with the old man, and his job is to catch the fish. So he gets in the boat to try and catch the fish.
So he catches the fish, but the fish is very strong, so the old man can not reel in the fish. Then he fights the fish some more and he finally catches the fish.
He catches the fish so then he can make money, right?
No, because on the way home, the sharks come and eat the fish. And so he no make money...

I bought a copy of this when I visited the Hemingway House in Key West a couple of months ago. Haven't read it yet but I am looking forward to it.

Probably bogus and a last-ditch attempt to take a potshot at Scotty. I love Hemingway, but he was notoriously full of shit, and that one basebal player he claimed to have met in Feast said, after his death, that he'd never met Hemingway in his life.

>>17330583
I wasn't even aware that my opinion was a popular opinion.

He is very uncharitable toward his friends, and pretends to be uncharitable toward himself, which is part of what makes this book so entertaining to me -- not only is it gossipy, it pretends not to be gossipy. I have no trouble imagining that Fitzgerald was a terrible road trip partner, however.

>>17330601
I suppose the road trip stood out to me because I actually like F. Scott Fitzgerald's books, so reading about him being whiny and high-maintenance especially tickled me.

>>17327786
I'm sure the book is great and all but what the hell is that awful cover

>>17327786
Anna Karenina

>>17330634
It is ok because the reel fish was the friends he made along the way.

>>17329033
Ok mate, get it started

Your picture is completely unintelligible

I had to get it on google and it wasn’t loading quick enough

kerouac is pretty comfy

>>17332034
I wanted that image. I really wanted it. And in your haste, despite promising it, you failed to deliver it. I oughtta gut you for this. Getting me all hot and heaving, just to go "Whoops my bad,". Absolutely disgusting.

>be me
>want a comfy book
>read The Hobbit
>it was indeed comfy
