message 19: by Andy (new) - rated it 2 stars

Andy Marr I so wish I'd felt the same, Julie 😀 I get the feeling Hemingway just isn't for me.


message 20: by Andy (new) - rated it 2 stars

Andy Marr Flo - you'll never guess what I'm reading now... 😅


Julie G Andy,
I like exactly two works by Hemingway: this one, and THE SUN ALSO RISES. I’ve tried several others that were a total bust, so I get it.

Julie, you've convinced me to give him another try. I've added 'The Sun Also Rises' to my TBR :D


Julie G Aww. . . That's very kind, Andy. It's okay to hate it, too, but I do think it's his most memorable work.


Dennis Hahaha! Glad you liked it. 😄


Laura Rogers My first laugh of the day. No, the second; something about laughing your ass off.


message 26: by Catherine (new)

Catherine (alternativelytitledbooks) - in a book slump :( But how did you really feel, Andy? 🤣


message 27: by Lesley R M (new)

Lesley R M Omg and I was going to read this 😂😂😂


Sunnie I loved this novella and have read it many times over the years. Do you give up or do you see it through to the very end. There is no, “What’s in it for me?�. How much inner strength do you have?

Kim A Hes an old man having fished all his life, its occupational proudness. I actually didnt think of cutting the line myself, or as an alternative he would have considered : p
