Save yourself TSAR for later or you won't really enjoy him. Do something like:
Old Man and the Sea -> Short Stories -> For Whom The Bell Tolls -> Island in the Stream -> A Farewell to Arms/ TSAR -> w/e is left over if you are still interested.

with reasonable standards and not overdoing the whole gun thing that is propably the best /lit/izen.

What's a good, inspiring book for a young man with no direction or masculine role models in his life to read?

How do I learn bravery?

I'm 0/10 in terms of bravery and want to change this.

What should I read/apply?

That sounds like a terrible life to live.

Only women and emasculated men dislike Hemingway.

One guy named 'Zeecunt' single handedly destroys this board for no reason whatsoever and the mods do fuck all about it.

Welp, goodbye /lit/.

Head for the hills boys, we must set up our camps elsewhere.

Two, in varying stages.
When I begin, I look at life with renewed vigor, and I wake up early and go biking and open the windows and enjoy the world.
Towards the middle, and on until the end, I get quite sad. There's parts while I'm reading that I just want to cry, for no reason that I can think of.

I would like to start off by saying that I began reading Hemingway (For Whom the Bell Tolls, Farewell to Arms, The Sun Also Rises, The Old Man and the Sea) when I was very young (about 14 or 15). I've always enjoyed reading Hemingway, and he has sort of been the staple of my literary diet who I go back to every once in a while when I want to read something familiar.

However, I started getting into some other stuff, mostly philosophy, for a while, and I hadn't read much fiction at all. After I picked up For Whom the Bell Tolls a couple of days ago, I still enjoyed it, but it seems extremely simple and somewhat lacking in what we seem to think of today as "good writing". It isn't particularly witty or innovative, and Hemingway switches into the 2nd person for more often than I would usually be comfortable with.

My question is, since I'm really not much of a writer myself, what is it that makes Hemingway so much fun to read compared to more technically expressive and witty authors? Why don't more authors try to emulate him?
