It's a gag centered around the works of Steinbeck and Hemingway--the scourge of high school English students everywhere! Of course, The Old Man and the Sea is more of a novella than a novel.
Much thanks to faithful reader Klinton for suggesting the coupling of Ammon and A Farewell to Arms--the genesis of this little exercise and, by far, the funniest of the book titles. I'm sure there are other worthy combinations of important book and scripture hero. I'm hoping my cultured readership can supply me with more.
