Good list. I read The Killer Angels almost every summer to coincide with the events at Gettysburg. A Moveable Feast is perhaps my favorite Hemingway book and he never wanted it published.
ReplyDeleteChris,
ReplyDeleteI think A Moveable Feast is Hemingway's best book and that his short stories are much better than his novels.
Your annual read of The Killer Angels is a great tradition.
Michael
Greetings from SC, Michael.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised that Atlas Shrugged was not on your list.
Ray,
ReplyDeleteI have always, for some reason, had difficulty getting into Atlas Shrugged. I have friends who have read it multiple times so the problem may be mine. It is on my Give It Another Try list!
Michael
