I think this won an award for being the best book ever written.

Has anyone read this book? Its another fine piece of literature by my favorite author, Ernest Hemingway.

I was supposed to read it, but my teacher didnt have time. I have read his short story, The Snows of Kilimanjaro. Thats really good.

I haven't had the chance of reading the novel. But I was, just last week, at Key West Florida and I visited Hemingways house where he wrote the book.

That'd be neat to see, I've seen pictures. I think wikipedia has pictures of it.

Yeah, I've read that book. It's nice and it's a very quick read. My English teacher let me borrow it from the "bookshelf" in her classroom. :) For Whom the Bell Tolls was also there but it looked really long lol.
