hm, I just this night remembered that I think I may have a Hemmingway in my to read pile. It was a "it might come up in school read" for a quarter. heh. I will look, if that book wins I will read because it will eradicate one novel from my pile. Exams kill my reading for like two months, it sucks. I am going to go look now...

Well, I voted for A Farewell To Arms because I really liked that book when I read it in high school. To be completely honest, I have a vague recollection that I might have harbored a small crush on Henry. I also loved the Sun Also Rises but I don't remember much of it. Right now I'm reading A Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway and I'm really loving it. I was disappointed it was not one of the options on the poll, but then it's not really a continuous story, is it?
Has anyone else read many of his short stories like The Killers, A Very Short Story, A Clean Well-Lighted Place or Hills Like White Elephants? I love a lot of those...
It's a non-fiction memoir and I assumed this thread was about Hemingway's fiction.
I also like two short stories set in Africa -- The Snows of Kilimanjaro and The Short Happy Life of Francis McComber -- and the Nick Adams stories set in Michigan (Big Two-Hearted River, The End of Something, etc.)
