I have wanted to read Hemingway for quite awhile and finally got around to it with For Whom the Bell Tolls. It is not what I expected but I did enjoy it, even if it was slow moving at times. It was rather gruesome in parts when Hemingway described the killing of the Fascists through a flogging line and some of the bull-fighting. (I've never understood bull fighting and why it continues today). Found it humorous that Hemingway did not write cuss words but used the term "obscenity" instead.

" 'You are a very hard woman' he told her. 'No ... but so simple I am very complicated' "
