Hemingway and Faulkner and My Other Favs

I hear you had a great class today with Ms. Gamzon and covering a short story by Hemingway. Hemingway is another of my favorite authors. I am particularly a fan of In Our Time by Ernest Hemingway.

In Our Time: http://www.amazon.com/Our-Time-Ernest-Hemingway/dp/0684822768

Really, most of the modern authors -- the ones that deal with these issues of loneliness and the questioning of existence, the existentialism, etc is MY specialty. It is the literature that I truly love. If you are like me, you may find some other philosophers interesting:

Sarte: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Paul_Sartre

Simone de Beauvoir http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/beauvoir/

I love this short story, "The Library of Babel" by Borges http://jubal.westnet.com/hyperdiscordia/library_of_babel.html You should definately check it out!

Tomorrow we are going to perplex ourselves with what you are reading tonight. I will give you an additional reading assignment tomorrow for over the weekend. I would like to finish up the book next week! How does that sound?
