Ralph; <OT> I was not a kid when I read it, and I guess for me it was such awakening to my nature at the time, ( as I was a fisherman by trade for many years ) that he really got my attention, as I was looking at so much of myself I never saw before so then I had to go back and read other books he wrote. Still I think that was the best, with For whom the Bell Tolls a runner up, all though I believe he is more famous for the Bell Tolls. I kind of think the best books don't just tell us about the world or it's habits so much as they let us see ourselves as a person, and so what may be the best for one is not so for many others. But I agree it had to be a very hard book for him to write, and him being able to capture the essence of that old man put's him high on my list of favorite people. What the heck he also helped make people like me real to the rest of the world. However I've done a lot of changing since them days. Jim
