Nick, I just finished The Sun Also Rises yesterday. Strange timing on the location change.
I knew that, my sources told me so.
Why do you think I changed the line?

I've only read A Farewell to Arms. What other Hemmingway should I read?
Don't. Just keep reading Fitzgerald until you've finished everything.
Daisy Buchanan: victim or vampire?
There are more choices than the madonna and the whore, my dears.
Don't. Just keep reading Fitzgerald until you've finished everything.
I've finished everything.
As long as you'e talking about Cormac McCarthy, fuck the thread police. Much as I love the Border Trilogy and The Road and No Country...Blood Meridian is my favorite. Amazing that someone capable of writing so poetically can conjure up such brutality.
Blood Meridian... I'd love to read The Road and No Country someday.
Hemingway over Fitzgerald? (Though I will say, Gatsby is not Fitzgerald's great contribution to literature if you ask me, that would be This Side of Paradise, messy and clearly youthful but that's the appeal, it's honest and impacting and not calculated).
I've finished everything.
I'm here to bask in the Blood Meridian love, too
The Old Man and the Sea is great.
ugh, agreed. sars, i hate hemingway. fitzgerald is easily my favourite author, but having just finished re-reading this side of paradise a couple weeks ago, it's definitely not my favourite. i remember when i first read all his novels years ago, my favourite was the beautiful and the damned. i've been planning to re-read them all this summer but i'm being lazy and time's getting away from me.Hemingway over Fitzgerald?

Oh, and, everyone can hate away but I prefer Steinbeck to Hemingway and Fitzgerald....even though I enjoy things about all three.
Baked McGuinness: U2's New Reggae album 'Ten Reasons to not give a flying f ' due out "before years end"
U2's longtime manager, between tokes and bong hits, has let it slip that his band's latest album, the often delayed follow-up to 2009's 'No line on the horizon' is set to arrive in stores just in time for the holi-daze. McGuinness, coughing, admits he would have liked to have the album out sooner, but also states the band had to re-write many of the lyrics after the original album lyrics were washed away out to sea one morning after a night of wild partying. Legend has it Bono apparently drank an entire case of wine and the Edge ate an entire field of magic mushrooms, McGuinness himself was said to be tripping on acid and heaving over the side of his 180 ft yacht. This madcap event took place in an undisclosed exotic location late last summer along with album co-stars Apache Indian, Spragga Benz, and Shaggy. It is unclear what role Larry and Adam had in this mele, though rumor has it Adam played escort to native women and designated driver for the band. Most of their time on the island Larry seldom left his beachside resort, often pouting at the new album's lack of drum solos. When asked for his opinion, Coldplay's Chris Martin was not shy for words; "they're a bunch of wankers. They had a great rock & pop album in the making, Epic and Mind bending, but instead the band (and manager) and company got so high they completely lost the secret to the universe, once again. When asked to reply to Martin's criticism, Blazed McGuinness looked thoughtful for several minutes without saying a word. Then finally, after what seemed like an eternity, he became very animated and managed to put the Martin rumor to rest "NONSENSE! The new album is (unintelligible)! LOTS of HITS!"
but i read the great gatsby about half a dozen times a couple months ago (i wasn't obsessed, i was writing an analysis paper and had to keep looking for metaphors and quotes) and i think it's flawless.

You can't mention great American novelists without a nod to Cormac McCarthy. Blood Meridian is one of the greatest novels of the past50100150 years.
Isn't it time for the thread police to show up?
Blood Meridian... I'd love to read The Road and No Country someday.
Nice. How about John Dos Passos, specifically the USA trilogy?
He's the second brightest talent of the Lost Generation after Fitzgerald.

In my mind...
This Side of Paradise is good, but it bugs me that Fitzgerald felt it appropriate to write a semiautobiography before really having done anything interesting, .
