The reading list of Ernest Hemingway: 17 books that I want to re-read

In an article for Esquire magazine in 1935. Ernest Hemingway included a list of 17 favorite books. They liked him so much that for the opportunity to read each of them again for the first time he was ready to abandon the annual income of one million dollars. Read your favorite books and you're Hemingway.

Hemingway read all his life, and with age his passion for books only grew. The day he usually had read one or two books at least three daily newspapers. In any trip Hemingway went with a suitcase full of books. Usually it is 3-4 while reading the book, but sometimes their number grew to 8-10.

Hemingway for reading was not only fun, but also an important part of his literary work - he studied, to find new ideas, give your brain a break. Therefore, the creative process usually goes like this: in the morning Hemingway sat and wrote, and in the afternoon and evening spent most of the time to read.

All good books are similar in one - when you read to the end, you think that all this has happened to you, and so it always with you and will remain: good and bad, delight, sorrow and regret, people and places, and what was weather.
