Re: 60 Books in 52 weeks #11. A Farewell To Arms
"A Farewell to Arms was the greatest reading experience of my life. It is also the only book to bring me to tears."
Wow, what a girly man. I liked the book too though. What I admire about Hemingway is his ability to convey sincere emotion without any sort of distortion or embellishment. His other great war novel "For Whom the Bell Tolls" was about a civil war he actually fought in (on the side of the communists) yet the book is absolutely a-political and honest.
