It was then that I realized he could only peck 10 - 12 words per minute on that thing but was still effective at getting his message across

Some might argue that it was because of that slowness that he wrote so well. Also, he edited to the point of almost over-editing.

he was such a bad ass. 💪

I like that photo!

Yes. But also Nostr is pandoras box. It's a lot of power. Tech can be destructive.

Hemingway! The Old Man and The Sea is the best. And he loved Paris. What's your favourite Hemingway book ? And what are you reading right now ?

I've got JFK and the Unspeakable by James Douglass, a Catholic theologian. He took 12 years to write this. Its narrows down to the days leading to his death and how much he pushed for peace, and the reaction of CIA. Leaves you goosebump-ish

The Sun Also Rises

Poor Jake. There's an old movie on this

i was not expecting the ending to go that way either esp when the book felt like it was his journey of finding his way back to her. i think they have a movie on this too.

Nice to know. Just so hard to trust a movie can do that ending justice. Thanks for info!

I prefer to see your photo , not this man

The Old Man and The Sea, 1952

If memory serves, he was in Germany in around 1923 to witness the hyperinflation

His theory/use of omission makes him a favorite. His writing is so clean
