I feel like I've read something by hemingway but I can't remember what right now. This sounds fabulous. If I ever became an expat, I know i'd end up surrounded by people as boring as I am! .-= melanie´s last blog ..Weekly Geeks 43 =-.

I listened to A Farewell to Arms this year and as far as I can remember it was my first Hemingway book too. I really enjoyed it. .-= Stacy´s last blog ..Fave Film #16 – A Walk on the Moon =-.

Well I did complete my school without reading his books and I feel really embarrassed about this and many other things! Well I think I really need to correct this! This one sounds good. Like you I like reading about people living abroad! .-= Veens´s last blog ..The Piligrims by Mark Shelley =-.

So cool. I knew that Hemingway and other writers like Stein & Fitzgerald were abroad at that time. I didn’t know that there was a book about it! I’m going to go add this to my wish list. I adore Hemingway. Compared to Faulkner, I think he’s very succinct. And I like that about his writing. If you read a novel of his, you might check out A Farewell to Arms (I think someone may have already mentioned it earlier). I had to read it for a class, but it turned out to be one of my favorites.

I’ve read some of his other works and I didn’t consider them ‘to the point’ but then again, I haven’t read this particular work yet.

I read this book one day in the bookstore in one reading because I couldn’t put it down. There has been lots of controversy over this edition versus the original edition but I like them both because I like to read anything by and about Papa.

Can’t wait for the Letters Project that the Hemingway Society and scholars (namely from Penn State) are putting together. His personal letters are even more interesting . . .

I haven't been a huge fan of Hemimgway's novels but I did enjoy one of his shorter stories- The Snows of Kilimanjaro. .-= Nicole´s last blog ..Literary Feasts: Heaven to Betsy, by Maud Hart Lovelace =-.

I like Hemingway, but it’s been a long time since I last read him. I have never read “the Moveable Feast”….not yet. Is the edition you read the “restored” version by his grandson — I think it came out just recently?

I loved The Sun Also Rises. What I would give to be able to live back then and hang out with those people! I think I was Gertrude Stein or Mabel Dodge in a past life. .-= EL Fay´s last blog ..Teaser Tuesday =-.

I read this a long time ago, but barely remember it. I have read two other Hemingways – The Sun Also Rises and The Old Man and the Sea. I absolutely loved the former, and I highly recommend it. Old Man, I’ve read twice; the first time I liked it and the second time I didn’t so much, so I don’t have a real opinion on that one.
