Like most writers, I've read a lot of Hemingway, and I admire him greatly.

I still read Hemingway. I still read his short stories because they're so good. He doesn't waste any words.

I picked up reading late because I grew up dyslexic. When I went to college, a friend who was a big reader got me started on a number of writers, including Hemingway.

'The Sun Also Rises' by Ernest Hemingway is my favorite book. You feel manly reading it.

I remember having to read 'The Old Man and the Sea,' and I didn't want to read it; I didn't want to like Ernest Hemingway. I was being a stubborn teenager.

I was writing novels in high school and apprenticed myself in a way both to Faulkner and to Hemingway.

I'm the Ernest Hemingway of 140 characters.

I'm a huge classics fan. I love Ernest Hemingway and J. D. Salinger. I'm that guy who rereads a book before I read newer stuff, which is probably not all that progressive, and it's not really going to make me a better reader.

Hemingway changed prose; so did Salinger and Nabokov.

The thing about Hemingway that people forget is that all the stuff he did was at a time where people weren't traveling that much. At 19 he travels to Italy. He goes to the Spanish Civil War. He goes to China, he goes to Africa so at that time to travel that much is really incredible.
