Last night, I was watching Pawn Stars on the History Channel and they purchased and sold a first-edition copy of Hemingway's "For Whom the Bell Tolls." I can't even imagine paying that much for a book, but then again I don't have that kind of fuckin' money to spend on a book. It would be nice to have a first-edition of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in my book collection. One can only dream. I buy used books, get them as gifts (best gift to give me in case any of you want to buy me a gift), download on my nook and occasionally buy a book at full price. If I buy a book at full price its on impulse. I can't help myself and I don't just come out with one book. The Pawn Stars episode got me thinking that I haven't read much Hemingway. I've only read the The Sun Also Rises and A Moveable Feast. Recently, I read Paula McLain's "The Paris Wife" which is about Hemingway and his first wife Hadley Richardson. The first link below is to The Pawn Stars episode. The second link is to the Ernest Hemingway Museum in Oak Park in case you live in the Chicagoland area.
