Go to Hot and Cold from Me and You

- Go to Hemingway's Existentialism: "I Am You Now, Rabbit. You are me."
In the olden times, when I was in 6th or 7th grade, I read a book from the
library just about every night. The school library was meant for up to 7th graders. I usually picked some little fiction thing that kids read. I chose things by the cover. One afternoon I chose something pastel and pretty, and took it home and read it in a couple of days.. It was
Lord of the Flies. Bit of shocking that was, the first I'd ever read that did not have a nicely resolved, happy ending. I learned my lesson, stayed away from pastels... The next bookcover was rich greens and blues. It was
The Old Man and the Sea.

I'm ashamed to
admit that I haven't read any Hemmingway. All that I know of his work is hear say.
Thanks for giving this insight into his work.

I have read his Old Man And The Sea about four times and each time I feel more a part of him as he sits in that boat. Great post about Spain and the year I was born.
Happy 24 my friend.
