I had the same exact thought when I read it. Catherine Barkley really is a shallow character. Though I heard someone make the argument that Hemmingway wrote the novel before her character tropes became cliché so maybe that excuses her character but it doesn't excuse her overuse of the word darling.

You quit a ~250 page book because the way one character spoke was annoying? Do you finish books ever?

In war love is simple because people need it in order to stay alive. Catherine was already a lifeless husk who had lost her fiancé to the war. She was a doomed woman with nothing to hold onto anymore, living on borrowed time.

I get that that was her character but Hemmingway didnt have to demonstrate those characteristics so shallowly. Anytime she was present in the novel all she would do is faun over Frederic and follow his lead. She would default to one of two emotions. Sadness and love for Frederic.

It's a bad thing to not finish a book??? I've only finished one book in the past 4 years (Orwell's Animal Farm - great book, doesnt overstay it's welcome, i'd rec) and honestly... i'm fucking proud of it. Why would i waste time with so much nonsense like hemingway?

No word of a lie, I got through the entirety of Moby Dick only to stop reading it entirely with less than ten pages to go. I literally couldn't stomach another minute of that heaping pile of garbage. The opening chapters before the voyage are so exhilarating and you think you're about to embark on this journey with these two characters and then it just becomes a massive slog until they finally fight the fuckin whale.

I tried again a few years ago and I had to put it down again even sooner this time (sixty pages left) because it was just so fucking boring.
