Now who's making himself look stupid.

You think not being a Hemingway fan makes some one stupid? However, I will retract the "sucks" description. Some of his writings do not suck but they are pedestrian and lack beauty and depth. He may have been a good reporter.

My literary tastes do not run to the commonplace nor do I pretend to appreciate something even if everyone else does.

In the pantheon of American writers Hemingway is far from the top. Read Faulkner, even Steinbeck, Melville, Dos Passos, Bellow, Robert Penn Warren, Wolfe their writings are all far more interesting and much superior to Hemingway.
