Best Hemingway books?

>>	Anonymous Fri Apr 15 00:29:23 2022 No.20225710 >>20225477 I think his short stories are better than his novels. I used to really like A Moveable Feast but the more you know about the background to it, the more it reads like catty backstabbing of his supposed friends.

I have only read two books, The Sun Also Rises and For Whom the Bell Tolls. Getting Snows of Kilimanjaro from the library soon.

The Sun Also Rises was okay but nothing special. Personally I am very narrative driven and nothing really happens in the book. Bunch of drunks talking about the "lost generation". Bullfighting scenes did not have the impact they should have had; I think if I had actually been to Pamplona or seen some real bullfighting then these scenes would have been much more powerful.

I recently finished For Whom the Bell Tolls and it was great, a real page turner. Some weird things about it like it uses thy, thou, thee instead of you, your and has strange spanish idioms like "obscenity in the milk of thy tiredness" which you can replace with "Fuck your tiredness" or something similar. Overall this book made me want to read more Hemingway which The Sun ALso Rises did not
