Ernest Hemingway's Pipe...

Cary Elwes. "Unlike other Robin Hood, I speak with English accent." That has to be Peterson 150. A Fine straight bulldoggie.
As has been mentioned, Hemingway did dabble in cigarettes a little in his 20's but quit because he said it dulled the sense of taste, and he considered himself as gourmand. I've seen maybe one or two pictures of him with a cigarette but that's been it. He didn't smoke pipes or cigars, which is ironic considering the Hemingway line by AF.
Rudyard Kipling Hemingway Bing Crosby

Some are stating that Hemingway didn't smoke a pipe. If Hemingway didn't smoke a pipe, who's the guy in the middle? Any ideas?
Nevermind...It's Asger Jorn.

I don’t know.. I’ve read some of Jiminks tobacco reviews in my time, surely he’d be up there with them..
Faulkner is akin to Joyce and was heavily influenced. However, I personally feel his stream of consciousness writing is crystal clear when compared to that of Joyce.
I finally finished Ulysses last year during the height of the pandemic. I had started it half a dozen times over the years. Never making it more than 100 or so words. Interesting book, interesting place in history as relating to flow, content and censorship. Personally enjoy W. Faulkner ten fold in comparison.

It took me three attempts to read and complete Ulysses but it's a special book for me; around 15 years ago I was going through a very dark patch and medications didn't help (actually made things worse...); but a counsellor I was talking with suggested I should try and concentrate on something I wanted to achieve but would be difficult and time consuming. Yup, I said "I've tried to read Ulysses twice and failed, so that's my goal; to finally complete this book".
Might seem a bit odd but it worked for me and by the time I finally finished the book I had a completely different outlook on life. I'm not claiming that was Joyce's writing; it's just it gave me something to concentrate on and cut out other thoughts.
I'm actually re-reading it (albeit slowly) now but that's just 'cos I want to read it.
I'll have to check out Faulkner.
I used to wonder how people bit holes in their stems. Not anymore!

Anyone ever see an author smoking an Author? Looks like that designation should have gone to the straight Billiard instead of the -too hefty to comfortably clench- chubby bent apple/prince.
by the time he stopped, days later, his health was seriously undermined.
He only took days to stop? It has taken me a lifetime. Yeah, water!

That’s a great story Mr. Lord of Time. Interesting how time and place can impact our reaction to or impact of a book, music or art.
I’d suggest Absalom, Absalom! Or The Hamlet as good introductions to Faulkner.
