ernest hemingway

July 21 marks the birth anniversary of one of America's most famous authors.  Ernest Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899, and died in  1961.  His distinctive writing style, characterized by economy and understatement was a big influence on 20th-century fiction.  Hemingway lived a life of adventure, which was reflected in his writing.

I had 90 minutes to kill between meetings at work today, so I headed downtown to the Flint Public Library hoping to find something from Ernest Hemingway (one of my favorite authors).  I was disappointed, as were several others who had come to the library only to find the doors locked.
