Nearing the end of The First Forty-Nine, wondering if I want to go on past "Fathers and Sons" to the rest. They sat on the shelf long enough since being flirted with briefly as an undergrad so I started pecking somewhere around my birthday in response to a gut feeling that told me I was nearing have arrived at long since passed the end of the part of my life even the most generous person would call "youth" and that tales of Nick Adams and his generation can't be properly enjoyed after this point if they're read for the first time.

That feeling has left my gut and been replaced by a new feeling.

The worst writer to be influenced by Hemingway's spare, stoic writing was Ernest Hemingway.

It baffles me that Hemingway is held up as the badass, world-weary, tough guy literary persona par excellence when we have so many other people who write better about similar subjects- Cormac McCarthy, for example.

Thanks; I'll check it out.

Coincidentally, I watched The Goonies last night, and the DVD had the video for "Good Enough" in the "extras" section. Captain Lou Albano and Corey Feldman, all in one video? Genius.
