But here's the deal: While I read Hemingway's classic books (all 10 of 'em back to back, in order, starting with the first), I won't read anything else. No other books. No newspapers. No magazines. Nope. It's all Ernest, all the time.
My 70 Days With Hemingway begins June 10th and ends August 18th, 2009.
