Right now I'm reading In Our Time by Hemingway. I'm not a huge Hemingway person, he certainly has it good points, but I find those rarely. A lot of people give me a hard time about it. I'm currently doing a iTunesU course on Faulkner, Hemingway and Fitzgerald to keep my mind active until I can get back in school. Hope it works! Anyone else read this?

The sensation that he is describing my own interior life is so vivid, I come away feeling it was only oversight that prevented me writing this stuff myself. A flattering delusion because I think this is a real work of art, which will survive us and make our world immortal.The morning is not enough.
