Now I have to read The Old Man and the Sea again... so depressing but, you put it in my head now. Luckily it's a quick one. Please refrain from any A Tale of Two Cities comments. Please?

My favorite Hemingway book.

Wrote my Junior Thesis on it. Unfortunately turned it in late and went from an A- to a B+ because of that. 🤦

Of the two movie versions, prefer the Spencer Tracy one.

Fine. No Dickens. How about "There ain't no sin, and there ain't no virtue. There's just stuff people do."

Ought to keep you occupied for a bit

Sunoverbeach? How about Sonofa...... Grapes of Wrath added to the list. I've only read it 6 or 7 times... here comes lucky number 8. You people are just mean.

Hey, I was going to hit up War & Peace, but figured that wasn't fair since I never read that one myself

I think Tolstoy was a clairvoyant..

“Because of the self-confidence with which he had spoken, no one could tell whether what he said was very clever or very stupid.”

I think this one belongs in the Politics section..... :-"

Brilliant reference. But, I've been chased out of my own thread to protect myself!! If someone talks about a book, even one I've read multiple times, I have to read it again. I'm about to tackle Jung's Aion. Or, I was about too....

The Old Man and the Sea
Grapes of Wrath
War and Peace
The Metamorphosis

Now I gotta go dig through "The Pile" and find them. "The Pile" is my entire garage. Back to front floor to ceiling stacks of boxes full of books.....

So not only do I get to read these classics...again. I get a nice workout trying to find them. Thanks....
