No question that "The Sun Also Rises" is his best work. It made me travel to Pamplona to run with the bulls, and heavily drink at the festival.

Or some very heavy drinking around the campfire the night before.


I always recommend "The Sun Also Rises” to family members who think and tell me I drink too much. And validate my comment that I am a rank amateur at the sport.

Tho I have cut back considerably in my consumption. Very much so.

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
