This is a good collection of Hemingway’s writing and a few collected speeches of the man. He is a fine writer. He earned the fame an notoriety that came to him.

I'm dinging this collection 2 stars--not for the writing--but for the publisher's failure to provide any sort of introduction--even a lousy title--between the audio tracks. Bad publisher.

I am not listening to CD 4, which is snippets of interviews and such. But enjoyed the readings of Snows of Kilimanjaro and Old Man and the Sea.

I've been briefly exposed to Hemingway before, but I think I appreciate him more now than I did then.

sometimes there just aren't enough stars

so ya think ya can write, do ya?
picked up The Ernest Hemingway Audio Collection from the library today, listening to Snows of Kilimanjaro narrated by charlton heston

on a day so perfect it had to be sent by heaven, listening to writing so perfect it had to be sent by heaven, narrated by a voice so perfect it had to be sent by heaven.
makes me question the point of trying to write well enough to publish

'So sir, do you think you can write?'
'Yes.'
'Well enough to publish?'
'I hope so.'
'Have you listened to Hemingway and read by Charlton Heston?'
'No.'
'You will be better off if you never do.'

Great audiobook read by Charleston Heston!

I enjoy Hemingway's writing... though I admit, I enjoy imagining him in Key West with his six-toed cats even more. While these stories could have used an introduction (e.g. the title of what turned out to be "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," which would have prevented me several minutes of confusion wondering if I was starting at the beginning!?), the readings were lovely. And it was fascinating hearing Hemingway himself on the last CD. His stilted and odd, slightly-accented voice was not at all what you would expect.

Ernest Hemingway is an American gem. His stories have such a deep meaning filled with metaphors and philosophy. This collection had two of his most famous works: The Snows of Kilimanjaro, and The Old Man and the Sea. What I really enjoyed the most was the 4th cd that had Ernest Hemingway read some of his poetry and talk about life. Great collection for American Literature fans.
