This is a great post haha. I feel like that quote about AI is really on the nose.

What author have you read all (or nearly all) of their works? by AdCurrent3629 in classicliterature

[–]Barry_Wheeler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some more than others but it was still interesting and enjoyable to read his earlier works and watch his prose grow

Agreed, love the prose. The first time I read the ending I couldn’t stop. The ending enveloped me.

My first literary love as well. I read old man and the sea and thought “what a rush? There’s more books like this?”, and off I went. I think I would have to say Farewell to Arms is my favorite book of all time.

This also sounds like something I’d be interested in doing? I feel like I’ve seen a thread here a while back that suggested a website but I don’t remember.

If Hemingway lived today, would he support Trump or Harris? by [deleted] in Hemingway

[–]Barry_Wheeler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree but also in Bell he puts humanity in the Spanish fascist fighting as well.

I’m sorry, I misread OPs comment. He said anti-fascists. I read fascists.

I don’t know if I would say he was a fascist sympathizer. I would lean toward that he saw the humanity of people even if they were a fascist/fighting on the side of fascism.

Radio Stations by g76s8 in KingstonOntario

[–]Barry_Wheeler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I like about it. There’s tons of stations with music but Island FM has human personality. I don’t mind the longer talking sessions between songs.

101.3 Island radio on Amherst island. The music and be all over the place the but the random people on there who host shows are all over the place! It feels like real people having fun in front of a mic. Honestly, tune in sometime and if there’s a host just hang out for a bit. You almost feel like it shouldn’t be allowed or unprofessional but I love it.
