A Farewell to Arms
Like a lot of Hemingway, its a lot of "this is what people are going on about???" and then all of a sudden a page of "holy shite...thats about as good of a paragraph as ive ever read."
Theres this one part where he talks about being alone and how you can be alone and be jealous of someone wanting to be alone. And how you can feel alone with someone without being lonely. It also talks about how "things of the night" dont exist during the day. And how life breaks you are kills you. All in one succinct (ha, succinct, redundant when talking about Hemingway) paragraph. That whole paragraph made me put the book down and just sit with it for awhile.
Also, the part where the two officials are arguing about which Swiss cities have winter sport is hilarious.

Just re-read To Have and Have Not. Very good. Not his best, but underrated in his works IMO

I just finished for whom the bells toll and I loved it.
The only other work I read was old man and the sea and it’s good.
I own the sun also rises and will read it after current book dune

Old Man and the Sea is perfect. And If you read it over again every few years, it takes on even new meanings.
(Do not ever read an English majors constipated opinion or whatever that was on page 1 like I made the mistake of)
Second place is the first half of “To Have & Have not”. I see people walk that way all the time and think of Eddy every time

I just read the snows of Kilimanjaro and other stories over the past couple of weeks and started a farewell to arms today 50 pages in. I can’t believe I’ve been missing out on this great writing for so long
