Lit should I read The old man and sea first or should I

read the other works of Ernest Hemingway first, since I

was told I would enjoy it better.

The old man and sea first

It is essential

>> No.1876629

I'd say A Clean Well-Lit Place is the more essential Hemingway story.

read the sun also rises don't listen to these faggots

THANKS ANON, I'LL CHECK THAT OUT. I HAVEN'T READ ANY HEMINGWAY IN AGES, AND I'VE YET TO READ ANY OF HIS SHORT STORIES, SO HOPE THIS GOES WELL

Fuck all this noise - read The Snows of Kilimanjaro, then The Sun Also Rises, then Death in the Afternoon, then The Old Man and the Sea, then everything else he ever wrote. Hemingway is without a doubt one of the best writers of the 20th century, and all his work is essential.

I only got The old man and the sea, Farewell to arm and The sun also rises.

Then I'd say The Sun Also Rises first, and the Old Man and the Sea last. Farewell to Arms is also amazing.

>> No.1876659

How about read any of them and then read the rest of them

>> No.1876663

I decide on reading the great gatsby by heminway
