Thanks for a great post on one of my favorite writers. I am ashamed to admit that I never knew about his lack of a college education. He was probably too busy living his life and sharing his experiences with the world via his writing. Bill Gates, one of the founders of Microsoft dropped out of Harvard to build Microsoft. Interesting parallels.
I also admire John Steinbeck, who attended Stanford University but never graduated. He had to work to pay for his tuition. He won the Nobel prize for literature in 1962.

I am a great fan of EH and even went down to Key West to visit some of his
haunts when I was in college at the University of Miami.
Great ideas from a writer who tests all times.
He was a terrific influence on how I write and so was Faulkner but not as much.

Ya know- I read many of Hemingway's books in school and think now that I should perhaps go search them out again. I've come full circle it seems and am just now (at 34) returning to my writing roots I established after I graduated from high school. Thanks for posting this...
