I liked The Old Man and the Sea and Islands in the Stream. I think I read Big Two-Hearted River, but might only have meant to. I've read nothing else by Hemingway, at least not yet.

I should like him, I'm was a Lit major in college and I have my HS teaching degree in English but I cannot stand his stuff.
Thanks. One of my all-time favorite shows!
Love the Avatar CYB!!
I'm a little confused here. Thought Gatsby was by Fitzgerald.I read Gatsby earlier this year and I read The Sun Also Rises a long time ago (so I may be fuzzy on details) but it seems that there were similarities with the time period and wealthy characters. The Sun Also Rises bored me and I thought Gatsby was great. So there is my simplistic comparison.
But to be fair, I like many of Hemmingway's short stories but I've always found the novels a little difficult to get into (I think Sun is the only one I actually finished but I started others ).
