"The Snows of Kilimanjaro," which I read as a kid, led me to the summit last July to celebrate my 1-year retirement from the Air Force.
I don't read Hemmingway's books to glean his personality or better or worse traits. I read them because they are well written.
A well written story is a joy.
I have a first addition, I've read it, I wasn't overly impressed with the man. His writing is very good but I found him to be an ass.
