Currently Reading...

I continue on my quest to read classic books. I just finished Ernest Hemingway's 'The Old Man and the Sea'. I have to admit that I found the writing style simple, but refreshing. Hemingway didn't bother with extra detail, but rather wrote with a style and force that made the story hard to put down. I found myself celebrating and grieving as I was on the little skiff with the old man.

It will be a while before I can make it down to the old bookstore.... but I am already looking forward to my next book.

sorry, but i found hemingway's writing style a bit too simplistic... i did read a couple of his books that i enjoyed, but "old man" made me wish the boat had sprung a leak and the old man had drown...

but no... sure... ask me how i really felt about it...
