Hemingway may be over rated by some, but I can definitly identify with and respect many things that he wrote, he had a good sense of humour, and a dry way of comunicating a certain amount of dry loneliness we can all identify with at time. (despite some of his leftist veiws)

I like dry, and I like humor. I just don't like Hemingway ;-)

I actually have a bit of reverse-snobbery when it comes to literature. Anything since, oh, 1900 that is acclaimed as great literature, I view skeptically... books are supposed to entertain me, you know... Hemingway and Steinbeck just don't do anything for me.

Heh, and this from a girl who really wants to be a writer.

"a certain amount of dry loneliness we can all identify with at time"

Yep. A good description.
