He’s probably my favorite writer. I enjoy 75% of his short stories, TSAR, AFTA, FWTBT, TOMATS, A Moveable Feast and The Green Hills of Africa. I’m going to read his minor works sometime soon

the action scenes in heminway books have always been the weakest part. he's at his best when the scene is in a bar, or a restaurant, or fishing. even the war scene to start off farewell to arms is only good because of the dinner scene right before it happens

even the end of "For whom the bell tolls"?

never been crazy about that book, and yes I also found that action scene an anti climax. my favorites parts of that book was the banter in the cave, doomed romance with rabbit, and when pilar told that story about a revolution in the town.
also the name of the hero is Robert Jordan who is also the fantasy author so sometimes it makes me laugh

ah perhaps I am not using the word right, I meant the ending was unsatisfying for me personally. I remember finishing and thinking, "that's it?"

Idk man. I have to read it again some day. basically my biggest problem with the book was this weird olde english thing Hemingway had the characters do, as though simulating how weird a translated language is or something.

I’m pretty sure that was a stylistic choice. It kinda gave it a “wise savage” trope that you’ll commonly see with Native Americans. I personally like it. It gives more gravity and tension to the scenes

His collected journalism is worth a read - there are some gems in there.

Did anyone else prefer the Paris part of this book to the Spain part? I know it was meant to show the emptiness and vapidity of modern life in Paris versus fulfilling traditional life in Spain, but I liked the slice of life in Paris' cafes and nightlife. I could have read a whole book about that regardless of if it was supposed to thematically be a bad thing.

the Paris part was objectively the worst part. though the whole thing was vapid and boring
