Watching Magnum PI

Do you feel wiser?  Do you enjoy life more?  Are you happier?  Don't worry, all are know side effects.   ;D


Which episode?

I've heard of it, but am not familiar---is it tragedy or a comedy?
...or a pleasant surprise.

It was the one where he gaurds a Balarina and TC is smitten by her. Magnum also drives a blue Mercedes SL 380 or 450 instead of the 308 Ferrari

Yeah, kinda a middle of the pack episode.  I do love when TC's soft side comes out, though.  Nice to see characters bucking narrow stereotypes.


Ok, back to books...

I need to read more Hemingway.  I read Have and Have Nots, Call to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Sun Also Rises and all the major ones.  Any minor works that I need to pay attention to?

Those you list are really the best of it. A Moveable Feast is good but it is not a novel, more like a collection of writings about life as struggling artist in paris in the 1920s.
