"There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed."
Happy birthday, Papa. The great American
novelist and short story writer Ernest Miller Hemingway was born on July
21 in Oak Park, Illinois. A war veteran and foreign correspondent for
international papers and magazines, Hemingway’s life and work are
defined by travel, adventure, masculinity, weakness, nobility, and love.
As an author, he created a canon of untouchable masterpieces via a prose style that was stripped, bare, and utterly novel at the time.

We love Hemingway, and therefore pulled out
all our books by the Champ, poured a Death in the Afternoon (rinse a
Champagne flute with absinthe and add Champagne), and ranked his 10 best books so that anyone who hasn’t read them can get started.
