“Classic” books/novels you’ve loved or hated


Billy Pilgrim

Recommended Posts

Interested in reading: Grapes of Wrath, The Old Man and the Sea, Anna Karenina, War and Peace, 1984


I have since read:

The Old Man and the Sea - loved it

1984 - great book but scary shit that seems inevitable

Anna Karenina - thought it was good despite being a little long and Russian high society isn’t my favorite subject

I re-read The Old Man and the Sea recently and also loved it. I remember reading it in high school and hating it. I think age or wisdom-- whatever it is you want to call it when you have experienced a little bit of life kicking you to the dirt once or twice-- brings a little bit more appreciation. And when put in context to where EH was in his career and his life, I can appreciate it all the more.
