STOLEN IN PARIS: The Lost Chronicles of Young Ernest Hemingway: Fishing the Great Two Hearted River
on July 24, 2012
This story is reminiscent of all the summer days I spent with my dad fishing on the Two Hearted River, Half-a-day Creek, and Pendle's Creek in Michigan's U.P. with my dad, as well as the cool summer nights camping on the shores of Lake Superior with my college friends. David describes the scenery and the thrill of the catch emotively! I bet the fishing was even better in Ernest Hemingway's day!

An amusing commentary on the life of a great horse, however I never expected Shadowfax to be so grumpy! Then again, he is a very old horse.

The Town That Haunted Hemingway: The Slip and Fall of Young Ernie's Spirituality : The Gradual Corruption of America's Literary Genius
on July 25, 2012
(no rating)
Following the youthful Hemingway's footsteps through Northern Michigan, David takes us through the people and places that helped to influence Hemingway's later writings. I think few modern day Petoskey residents realize the part that our town played in shaping Hemingway's life. This is a good read for anyone interested in Hemingway or Northern Michigan.
