Hi, everyone,
It was 2 for forge ahead, and 0 for more on Owen, so forge ahead it is! What shall it be? Mouse in the Stacks just posted a number of suggestions:

Plus there's everything that's been brought up before, too...

In reply to OK, what next?, posted by Dr. Bob on June 21, 2002, at 10:24:35
That would probably be over my head to but I'd enjoy eavesdropping on the discussion. And I remember someone commenting on "typical Irving". It would be a way to see what that is.

That sounds interesting-somehow the recent match between Lewis/Tyson seems to make that more meaningful somehow.. I want to read something that I have never read before-or else it isn't any fun! I have only read a couple of Hemingway short stories, no novels. Which one?

A Farewell to Arms, was mentioned before...hmmm could be about war and the loss of arms another comparison to Owen....
Hemmingway was raised Congregationalist too...http://www.empirezine.com/spotlight/hemmingway/hem1.htm

How about the Sun Also Rises instead of A Farewell to Arms? The Sun has this tormented main character, Jake Barnes, who's an especial favorite of mine, and has one of my top quotes ever: "It's easy to be hard-boiled about everything in the daytime, but at night it's another matter." I wrote a whole short story based on that quote once.
Sorry to butt in, I'm kinda new here; just a thought.
