I read the book at 15 for high school and just last month, decades later. I found and still find it a great but also sad book, especially because of the similarity with the writer's life. Read the Sun also Rises soon after, but that I found boring. Yes I understand... emptiness after WW1...Never understood why that is one of America's classics

I see. I just got noted about reading about the endless drinking sessions and actually very little happening.
