Just finished The Sun Also Rises. Now my cock is also rising from For Whom The Bell Tolls. 5 chapters into this second book and I dig Hemingway, but what does /lit/ think?

Hemmingway*

also he's a hack.

Hemmingway is alright. A tad overrated. The Old Man and the Sea and The Sun Also Rises are decent. And he has a few good short stories.

Check out his short stories.

Hemmmmingway's short stories are better than his novels. "Banal Story" is only like a couple paragraphs and still knocks my socks off.

Sun Also Rises is complete and utter garbage. If you enjoyed it, then your standards are non-existent, and you'll like practically anything.

take another lap and try again

hemmmingway is trash. the only good that's come out of him was a clean well-lighted place, the rest of his oeuvre would have been forgotten, rightfully, were it not for him hanging out with actually talented people.

I'm a Hemmingway fan but I actually think The Sun Also Rises is one of the worst books I've ever read.

And this is coming from someone who loves A Farewell To Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls and The Old Man and the Sea.
