If I'm not mistaken, this is the month for the Hemmingway work. I started it this weekend and I'm about 3/4 done. I find myself wincing as I wait for the...
I read "The Sun Also Rises" many years ago. I can't remember him going into any elaborate descriptions of bull-fighting. At the time I read it, I wasn't very...
I have read "The Sun Also Rises" and a lot of other Hemingway years ago. I remember TSAR as being one of my favorites because of the vivid descriptions of a ...
I just finished TSAR and I think this is not the type of book for which a "spoiler" can be written so this should be safe for anyone to read. I am not all that...
I've started thinking about Jake Barnes as the "unreliable narrator". It is interesting to think that this story might read a lot differently if told from say...
Now if I could only figure out how to afford to bum around Europe, drinking and swimming. The Hemmingway I read, along with The Net by Murdoch, and a couple...
Since TSAR went so fast for me I think I'll go back and try and pick up The Secret Agent. I really like Conrad and if I read and post quickly maybe you will...
I don't know, I've been reading Eng. Lit. from both sides of the Atlantic now for decades and I still find Hemingway way, way down on my list of authors to...

I am new so just beginning to reread Women in Love. AS a male I find an extremely interesting sisterly (as in sisterhood) relationship presented in this...
So we now have a new member who has started reading Women in Love. This is the problem with that old home page. There is no easy way for folks to know what...
... modernlibrary100greatestbooks@yahoogroups.com, "gribblejaydee" ... Love. ... makes ... Thanks. I am told i am reading the wrong book, but not what is the ...
For August the book is the Sun Also Rises. For September it is Point Counterpoint by Huxley. I think I marked the latter on the calendar. Did this work for...
Since the homepage misleads visitors and new members, it might do well to post the reading schedule for a month or two every week...or month. Since message #3...
Excellent. I didn't realize that we could do that. This should really help the club. ... From: hecon_99 [mailto:no_reply@yahoogroups.com] Sent: Saturday,...
Thank you very much! I'm a fairly new member, and lurker so far, but I was very confused as to what to read. I checked out the first one read (Ambersons) and...
Patty, thanks for mentioning that - I live in Portland too. I'll have to check that out. I hope everyone chimes in when they read a book we've already...
Thanks for your work, Henry. I like the way you put the schedule on the home page so we and others can see right away what is coming. Good choice, gribblejd...
It's been quite a while since I read TSAR, but just to have something to do, I'll try to contribute an helpful mite. The key to appreciating Hemingway is to...
Winston! So good to hear from you again, and your analysis of TSAR shed some new light on the book for me. Dare we to hope that you might be participating...
Kathy, Thanks for the welcome, and I'm glad to be back. I will indeed be participating. I guess I just let the proverbial "tyranny of the urgent" pull me away...
I've been thinking about TSAR and Hemingway's reputation as a "macho" sort of writer. He is often characterized as giving the point of view of the "man's...
I think you've got it just right. The subjects of "real manhood" and sexuality connected therewith is very interesting in TSAR (some critics refer to this as...
Btw, how could we think Jake Barnes is less of a man because he is impotent? He was made so because of a combat injury. How could he be considered less than a...
I hope a number of people will joint in the September group read. It will take me about another week to get a copy, but I plan to start then. I found an...
