Ah yes who could forget Ernest Hemingway! The great writer, bull-fighter, big-game hunter, supporter of Republicans during the Spanish cινιℓ ωαr-whoops, hmm that's not good.

Ernest Hemingway, the great writer of such books as A Farewell to Arms (a leftist work), The Sun Also Rises (a leftist work)---hmm this guy is actually considered a great writer?

Ernest Hemingway, an author that Catholic schools in the 1950's couldn't soak up enough of his works---hmm this man is actually great?

Anyway, as you can see even though Ernest Hemingway has entered into the American pantheon of grat American writers, he was actually no one to actually praise or commend, and I need not also mention his ѕυιcιdє (which still landed him in a Catholic burial) or all of his affairs either.

Ah I see we have the down-thumb stampede again. For the person who down-thumbed me, reading Ernest Hemingway does not make you cultured, but on the contary, makes you very leftist.

I used to own several Ernest Hemingway books, but I threw them in the trash after I converted.

Yes, it was required reading for high school, along with many other most-forgettable books.

His writing just never did anything for me, give me a recipe book anyday.

It was books like his that the Spaniards wanted to keep away from the Indios that is why they never taught them to read.
