Lasso 13,194 Posted July 26 2 hours ago, The Sun Also Rises said: All I can say is good luck with Moby Dick if you're finding it takes you ages to finish The Sun Also Rises. Moby Dick is the only book I never finished, it's so long and descriptive and ... I won't say any more That's so funny cause I really like Moby Dick so far haha I guess it's just a matter of personal taste. I love descriptive prose, and biblical subtext. I managed to finish TSAR and I liked it too, I thought it really picked up at the end. Maybe I just should've picked a different book to start with Hemingway 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Man and the Sea was the first Hemingway book I read and a good starting point! He and Melville are almost polar opposite writers (I'm sure there's a quote from Hemingway about how he prefers to write with less words), so it must be a real trip reading one after the other 1 Quote The cicadas in the sunset are your guide Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cunt 8 Posted July 29 I just finished Regeneration by Pat Barker, and waiting for the copy of the sequel that I ordered is driving me crazy. Might actually go into my list of all time favorites, but I'll need to reread before saying that for sure. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Sun Also Rises 5,534 Posted August 22 I finished reading My Dark Vanessa awhile ago and it got me in a huge reading slump. I rated it 5* but it was so hard for me to get through and basically extremely triggering. I read Create Dangerously by Albert Camus right after to "cleanse" myself, it's just a really short essay (a speech he gave), and then I started reading Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto and even though I'm enjoying it I just can't get past half way ... just finding it hard to get past the feelings from MDV 1 Quote The cicadas in the sunset are your guide Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
