Hmmm. Maybe that's where I got the impression from whatever I read of Hemingway in high school that he was just too clever. It was probably the lack of depth or character development or something?
I'm going to go to the library tomorrow to borrow the book and read it (because darn it, I am NOT going to buy Hemingway). Perhaps it will jog my memory as to why I formed that opinion.
It's a fine line here isn't it. If we pick too long a book, we reduce the number of people who will read it. If we pick too short a book, we limit the probable discussion time. What do you think would be the best way to maximize involvement?
The discussion thread just looked so sad and lonely....
