fricking Faulkner? What's wrong with you people?

Mark twain is the single most quoted American author. He is a man of unparalleled literary accomplishment. And he fricking loved Iowa.

What an abortion of a thread.

This fricking thread is a baseless claim leveraged on the back of a list of quotes

I haven't read Huckleberry Finn,. so I guess that's why I don't have the love for Twain. However, I do love the easy yet deep read that Hemingway is. What three works would you out against Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls, A Farewell to Arms, Hills Like White Elephants?

Berra: ) Nice guy. What's he do?(speaking to his host after having a pleasant conversation with Ernest Hemmingway at a cocktail party)
Host: He's a writer?
Berra: Yeah? What newspaper?
