...could be found Virginia Wolf's The Common Reader, Ben Aimes Williams' The House Divided, The Partisan Reader, Charles A Beard's The Republic, Tarles Napoleon's Invasion of Russia, How Young You Look by one Peggy Wood, Alden Brook's Shakespeare and the Dyer, Baldwin's African Hunting, T.S. Elliot's Collected Poems, and two books on General Custer's fall at the battle of Big Horn. And did you know that Hemingway did it standing up - writing and typing, I mean. |

...just playing Craig - as I've fallen off my chair laughing at the other thread... 'I give up. Here's the keys. Lock up when you're done. Make sure Cell 45 gets his meds, tho. You know what he's like . . .' |

When writers get in tussles, it's certainly colorful. And I wouldn't put it past Hemingway doing it ALL standing up. Sterling Hayden in THE LONG GOODBYE - a Hemingway parody, right?... |

That must have been one hell of a big desk... *thinks desperately of bad Moveable Feast pun* |

Hemingway wanted to devise a method of writing that didn't involve the physical act of putting words down on paper. He even wrote a book about it, outlining his plans: A FAREWELL TO ARMS. Well, Joel's not here, is he? |

Mmmm not bad - Gary. Steve - I'm still working on For Whom the Bell Tolls and The Snows of Kilimanjaro. A Farewell to Arms - From Whom the Pen Falls - No flows from he who writes all though. It's okay - I'm going. |
