With all the things that he had done with his life - what else would he had done if he had stayed with us another 10 or 20 years? Red |

Probably not much considering he had been diagnosed with hemochromatosis and was starting to slide into the mental debilitation that comes along with its advanced stages.
Hence his suicide, just like his father. |

I believe that he thought that whatever he would have done would probably have hurt his legacy. At his best, he was exceptional.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
So what was his major issue, queer, pedo or drug addict? Hemochromatosis WHAT IS HEMOCHROMATOSIS? Hemochromatosis is an iron disorder in which the body simply loads too much iron. This action is genetic and the excess iron, if left untreated, can damage joints, organs, and eventually be fatal. There are several types of hemochromatosis. Type 1, also called Classic Hemochromatosis (HHC), is a leading cause of iron overload disease. People with HHC (too much iron) absorb extra amounts of iron from the daily diet. The human body cannot rid itself of extra iron. Over time, these excesses build up in major organs such as the heart, liver, pancreas, joints, and pituitary. If the extra iron is not removed, these organs can become diseased. Untreated hemochromatosis can be fatal. |

This is an Oscar winning short film, made by a Russian animator, Aleksandr Petrov, of The Old Man and the Sea.
He made it from 29,000 paintings on glass, done by himself and his son. It took over two years.to make. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMoIoiN5aSQ |

One of my favorite MST3K scenes was in "Attack of the The Eye Creatures." An old man sitting at his desk. Propped up against the wall next to him was a shotgun, which he picks up and begins loading. The comment was "We now join Ernest Hemingway at his home in Ketchum, Idaho."

Just finished THE HEMINGWAY PATROLS
https://www.amazon.com/Hemingway-Patrols-Ernest-Hunt-U-Boats/dp/1416597875 Definitely worth a read. I always thought that stuff was just another reason to get drunk and go fishing, but it was a US government sanctioned U-boat defense. Hemingway was not a communist or a leftist. I'm surprised by a lot of the remarks here. He was his own man. Spain in the thirties was what Syria is today. Which side would you support in Syria today? ETA Clarification: By support, I mean which side would you go to that region and do something for, be it reporting, providing aid, picking up a rifle... |

My kids both enjoyed me reading to them out of the books. I feel those books made me a better father than I would have been had I not read them. My copy of the first one, I took on a vacation with me. My dog got ahold of it and chewed the hell out of one corner. Makes the book that much more special. (For those who haven't read it, a large percentage of the book is about hunting with dogs). Quotes like this are what I'm talking about: "The old man knows pretty near close to everything. And mostly he ain't painful with it". Sorry to derail the Hemmingway thread. |

He was completely self centered and arrogant, but a hell of a writer. He created the modern concept of a "man's man". What authors do you prefer, so we have a frame if reference on your literary opinions? |
