  1. Hi there. I just discovered your website, and wanted to thank you for putting it together. I have been a Hemingway reader for decades now; it is a somewhat lonely existence in that you don’t meet people out there on the street, or see people on the beach, who are reading Hemingway.

    I see that Reynolds’ books are on your list of books to read. I think I’ve read most of the major biographies, and these stand out as being the best, for me. I know you will enjoy them.

    I live in NY, and as soon as the warm weather hits, I must read Hemingway. I am currently rereading Islands in the Stream, and it was so long ago that I read it, it is as if it’s the first time.

    I hope you can direct me to some good books, criticisms, etc. and I hope to see some discussion on your site.

    Cheers,
    Christina

    • Hi Christina – thanks for reaching out. I saw that you lived in NY – my last time in Manhattan, I picked up a copy (1st edition) of For Whom the Bell Tolls…gotta love NY. In terms of some good books I just picked up Harold Blooms – Ernest Hemingway and Donald Bouchard’s Hemingway: So Far From Simple. Also, are you a member of the Hemingway Society? if not Google that and join. Finally, one my fav EH books is Island and the Stream – just watched the movie starring George C. Scott.

      Regards,

      Michael
