34: The point is that this is only the case for some books. Say I want to know whether I have The Garden of Eden . I would just type "eden," because I know I don't have any (or at least, many) other books where that would come up. But that's not going to do me a bit of good in an Add Books search.

... with no punches thrown? Come on. What kind of Hemingway fan are you?
On a mildly more serious note, after reading The Garden of Eden , I found the rest of Hemingway better, and went from a Hemingway hater to one who could read it without unpleasant incident. And I do see his poetic ...
... merely insipid and not out and out idiotic. Still, he doesn't belong on the list, though if someone were to put him on, The Garden of Eden is what belongs.
No one has advocated Death Comes to the Archbishop? Shirley Willa has some fans?
I finished The Garden of Eden by Ernest Hemingway a few days ago. Also Dubliner's by James Joyce. Just today started The Winter of Our Discontent by John Steinbeck. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath is hopefully next. :)

12. The Garden of Eden by Hemingway
I never managed to get passed the first chapter before but something made me start this the other day and I was half way through before I knew it. As the blurb from the Washington Post says on the back cover of mine - ". . . No one else writes like this ...

sigh, I love Hemingway.

I think I'll try to get some more half-done ...
... my old routines are broken and I just haven't felt quite in the mood for sitting down and reading. This week I did re-read The garden of Eden , one of my favorites--I had been worried it wouldn't be as good as I remembered, but it was better. Also, I finished The sister, which was lingering ...

... books, all written in that truncated style with those overemphasized dorsal consonants, just wouldn't work for me. After Garden of Eden , which is really a distinctive Hemingway work in a lot of ways, and which I enjoyed, I was able to go back and read him and take his damn voice with a bit ...
... Zelda were so bitchy! It was interesting to read this memoir alongside another of Hemingway's posthumous publications The Garden of Eden . Have you read that one? Pretty hot stuff!
Topper, your comments on how Garden of Eden was published offers me a perfect opportunity to call everyone's attention to a new group: IRATE (Irritated Readers Against Terrible Editing). Now, since I'm a Hemingway hater, I don't know whether the hash-job on the Hemingway book ...
Bookishbunny--your comment about Garden of Eden is interesting. Hemingway didn't really write it--what he wrote was almost completely different from the published novel (and atypical of his earlier style), but the editors took the manuscript apart and put it back so that it looked like a "Hem ...
I didn't like Hemingway until I read Garden of Eden . It's not the kind of thing I would have thought he'd write. Try it. It's a slender, unfinished novel published posthumously.
