Could any of you convince me to keep reading this? This fisherman will just not stop talking about his hand cramping up.

>his hand cramping up.

So if it was called The Old Man and The Fap, you'd find it easier to relate to, eh?

because you masturbate excessively. This is my implication

So what? Who gives two tugs on a dead dog's cock about your opinion?

Even your mother doesn't give a fuck about your favourite books, so why the fuck are you whining to us about it?

>> No.2647106

OP here. I happen to care.

>> No.2647107

You can read it in like, what, two hours? Just get over it, it's a highly effective novella. In fact I reccomend two readings.

Finish it before you come to a final conclusion about it.

I liked it, not Hemingway's best stuff, but good for what it is
