Awesome movie, has nothing to do with the book though. Apparently it was made because Howard Hawks bet Hemingway he could make a good movie out of his shittiest book. It was also remade in the early 50s with John Garfield under the title Breaking Point.

My favourite Hemingway stuff is the early short stories and The Run Also Rises. Only stuff I've read by Fitzgerald is GG and The Crack Up. Good stuff.

Right now I'm reading Open Doors by Leonardo Sciascia, it's a novella about a judge during the fascist period in Italy.
