What's this?

I’m midway through Hemingway’s Farewell to Arms

So far ok. I sort of know how it ends. I thought Sun Also Rises was a little boring but I liked For Whom the Bell Tolls. I like WW1/WW2/Spanish Civil War era history so maybe more appealing to me. Guns of August up next before I go back to start Old Man & the Sea/To Have and Have Not. I’ve started The Last Lion (Winston Churchill) on the side but that’s a big one.

Yeah, UC was good but read like a text book after a while. Stinebeck -- Tank 08/27/2021 9:15PM

If you read one Henry James, you'll want to read them all. Wonderful -- UTPr0sim 08/27/2021 9:24PM

Thanks, but I'm not a big SiFi fan. How relatable is it? ** -- Tank 08/27/2021 9:18PM

It's a sci-fi essential classic from a grand master. As far as relatable? -- Major Kong 08/27/2021 9:52PM

Dark Tower is great! -- VTNateRx 08/28/2021 8:28PM

Moby Dick is worth it, but definitely a slog. -- 6GHokie 08/27/2021 8:51PM
