/lit/ - Literature

I just finished the Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway. I took forever to finish it because I found it so boring.

So much of the novel is just the characters hanging out and describing cities and food. A bunch of guys simp for an uninteresting girl. The conflict and character exploration is super overstated by the fans of the book.

I think it also a super self-indulgent look into the Lost Generation.
>Oh no! We are so important and our lives are so sad despite being able to do so many cool stuff while being "broke."

Is everyone just pretending to like this book or did I miss something?

Thank you for the suggestions, I've recently read The Sun Also Rises by Hemingway and it was only at the end of the story that I realized the whole thing was about a group of guys who wanted to watch a bull fight.

don't let them drag you down, anon

Is the title a play on words about his penis not being able to achieve erection anymore?

Bunch of cuck numales go bar hopping meanwhile making fun of the only non cuck in the story whom is a Jew .

>The main female in this book, Lady Brett Ashley, is literally the embodiment of what I hate about women.

What a fucking whore.

What's the appeal of The Sun Also Rises, /lit/? Having read it, I'm having a really hard time understanding the acclaim surrounding it.
