Hemingway...ugh. An acquired taste (which I have never acquired).

I can't claim to be a Hemingway fan, only having read this one title of his. This particular story appeals to me. I guess I like the simple "man versus nature" and "man versus himself" aspects of the story.

Actually I thought this story was OK, probably a Hemingway one I could even re-read.
And I don't even object to his stories per se (the handful I have read.)
It's his style of writing I don't care for. Same with Steinbeck; stories 👍 ...style👎

This was too good for me not to share to a broader channel! I posted this meme about Tchaikovsky (my all time favorite composer) and my friends spammed the daylights out of it with all kinds of emoji reacts relating to various Tchaikovsky works.

Excellent work, my friends, I appreciate you!!
