For Whom the Bell Tolls?

No man is an island, entire of itself… any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. John Donne (1572-1631)

Okay, it’s time to put Ernest Hemingway on my reading list for this year. What book from Ernest Hemingway do you recommend?

De acuerdo, ha llegado la hora de añadir un libro de Ernesto Hemingway a mi lista de lectura para el año. ¿Cual libro me recomiendan?

  @416a96b282d11840037fbf0f9728d6f4:disqus thanks for the suggestion, I don’t think I have read “The Sun Also Rises” yet. I will put it on my Amazon wish list for the next time I give myself presents.

Yes–The Sun Also Rises is excellent. I’d also recommend the short stories and the memoir A Moveable Feast.

    Have you read El Viejo y El Mar? It’s fairly late Hemingway but is still a very good read.
    How are you doing Rudy?

      @Scott, I read the Old Man and The Sea when I was in High School and once more later on. I also watched the movie a couple of times. Hemingway has always been among my favorite authors.
      I am not feeling well recently, too many questions and issues in my mind. I think I need a sabbatical-walkabout year. 🙁

Paris era una fiesta, es el único que he leido pero me gustó bastante. Además lo lei tras un viaje a la ciudad de la luz.
