The Sun Also Rises is great to read after A Moveable Feast because it's based off some of the events in AMF. I also enjoyed his short stories and The Old Man and the Sea. A Farewell to Arms is great if you're looking for a more full length novel. Currently reading For Whom the Bell Tolls and it's great so far

Read Faulkner. You’re not reaching your full potential.

I'm reading For Whom The Bell Tolls now and really loving it. Debating whether to go onto another Hemingway next or to continue the spanish civil war theme with Homage to Catalonia

The First Forty-Nine Stories is a fantastic collection of his short stories -- arguably his best work.

His short stories are sublime and the reason that he is renown to this day.All his novels are anywhere from okay to great but his short stories are on another level.If I had to rank his 4 famous novels, it would be TSAR, TOMaTS, FWtBT then AFtA.Almost every thing he wrote is worth reading.He benefits greatly by reading slowly and closely due to his iceberg style that he made famous

>”Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words? He thinks I don’t know the ten-dollar words. I know them all right. But there are older and simpler and better words, and those are the ones I use.“ -Ernest Hemingway
I dont know if Ive ever seen one author BTFO another this concisely, and in this is why Hemingway is superior

The Old Man and the Sea. Ive been through a ton of books from Joyce to Pynchon and I still think that Sea is the most based thing that was ever written

do this but also read Mine Were of Trouble by Peter Kemp for full Spanish Civil War experience. Peter Kemp served on the nationalist side of the war.
