My perspective is a farewell to arms is also worth reading, as good as for whom the bell toles.

As far as Sun also Rises, I think most of that book is about Jakes dick not working, and how much that sucks, or something.

When I read it, I felt like I was stuck watching unlikable people doing nothing that interested me. But I like Hemingway in general.

Idk I read AFTA and found it to be an unconvincing love story. The woman has no personality and maybe one quality that is admirable. The protagonist is probably more dull and has less to work with. The only interesting thing I took from it was the setting and overall perspective of the war. FWTBT is better and TOMATS is probably his best imo. Both have better characters and better plots.

I thought Bell was great, Sea was boring, Farewell felt like a love-story that I enjoyed although I cannot remember exactly why, its been years. I want to read movable feast.
