I have beautifully worn and lovingly well-read copy of Ernest Hemingway’s The Old man and the Sea, every now and again, I thumb through the pages just to read these words – Sometimes I need a reminder, sometimes we all do . . .

I’ve actually never read this, but like the line. I have lines in books I read over & over too.

I remember my father reading “The Old Man And The Sea” to me (We had a parctice of reading at bedtime.) when I was about 6 yeas old. Its hard to know and say how that story embedded itself in my mind, but the old fisherman’s desperate refusal to give up on that fish and getting it home, even as a skeleton has stayed with me ever since. I don’t know how the tale has influenced my own response to adversity, but probably quite a lot.

It’s one of my favorites, I found it when I was five or six as well. I was a precocious reader (I learned at four), and The Old Man and the Sea was one of my first favorites. Santiago has always been with me . . .

The best stories do stick to our brains. I had forgotten the Old Man’s name.
