the intellectual corner: hemingway's the sun also rises

i came across this book on a list of books that should be read in one's twenties posted on buzzfeed. i remember hearing about this book, as well, from a friend while perusing the city lights bookstore in san francisco. i finally caved and downloaded said book on my e-reader.

at first i really didn't care for the book, but after a while i got into the story. i did find that there was no real arc in the story as it just commented on events that were transpiring, however its main setting was paris, france. i am a HUGE sucker for anything parisian. i did enjoy the book, but it isn't something i would reread or stand out to recommend to others.

SHOCK HORROR! i know. what can i say? i am a weirdo, and this hemingway book didn't do it for me.

do you have a favorite hemingway book that i should read? did i miss the whole point of the sun also rises? let me know. sometimes things are lost on me. i can't help it.

all read up

NERD ALERT!! i love to read. i have about three books going at once, even though i try to only have one at a time--oh well. anyways, the last book i finished is a biography of Hunter S. Thompson's life told by many of his closest friends and family. Hunter Thompson is one of my favorite authors as his writings are so full of life and truth. if you are a Hunter Thompson fan, this book is really interesting and worth a gander.

READ ME!
