The thing is, I felt that the author's day job made the book less enjoyable. To liken it to, say A Farewell to Arms (Or Never Cry Wolf or Papillon), which is equally semi-autobiographical, I come up with some je ne sais quoi as to why Hellmann failed where Hemingway, Mowat, ...

It's odd that Barnes and Noble was allowed to publish four of Hemingway's most famous novels (The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and The Old Man and the Sea) in their Library of Essential Writers series (link below). The book is pretty cheap (under $14), ...

It's easy to put Hemingway down for his style - using few words, being the tough guy - But when you read stuff like Farewell to Arms & For whom the bell tolls, you understand that these are great books, written by a great writer.

10. A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway in English A story of the love between an American ambulance driver and an English nurse during World War I. I like Hemingway's style very much and it makes the description of war-time really realistic.

Hi, nursejane! Thanks for stopping by my thread. I see that you liked A Farewell to Arms. As I replied to you on my thread, one of my favorites of this year so far is The Old Man and the Sea, also by Hemingway. And it was the first book this year. :) Good luck with your reading challenge. ...

>74 I agree with you on Hemingway. I just didn't like his prose. I read A Farewell to Arms, because everyone lauded it as a 'classic' and I disliked it intensely. I'm not sure whether I would read any others of his. Perhaps this was a bad one to start with?

... Hemingway I read and I enjoyed it a lot. I thought I had found another read-everything author. However, then I tried A Farewell to Arms during college days and didn't enjoy it. Same with The Sun Also Rises. There's a bit of misogyny, a lot of macho and a few other things that just ...

I had to read both A Movable Feast and A Farewell to Arms last year year. We basically spent the entire year analyzing the heck out of them. Absolutely torturous! I don't understand all the hype about Hemingway, and I found it all to be extremely dull. Also notable for me would be Chroni ...

I didn't particularly like Farewell to Arms. This may have to do with having to read it for high school. I also didn't like Great Gatsby and Childhood's End for the same reason. I enjoy books are rich, neurotic people, like Proust and Waugh. Being not rich, I see it as anti-slumming. ...

A Farewell to Arms is my favorite Hemingway novel. The only Hemingway that doesn't make me want to throw the book across the room, actually. Most unreadable F book: Finnegans Wake I'm a couple letters late, but I want to mention A Dance To The Music of Time as one of my favorite "D" ...

Hemingway - A Farewell to Arms. I'd always thought Hemingway a little too macho, but this one dispelled that idea. Dickens - A Tale of Two Cities. I really don't like Dickens, but this one was pretty good. I'll leave the others for others.

Friends of the Library sale books: A Farewell to Arms by Hemingway Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry. A paperback of one of my all-time favorite books! Everyman by Philip Roth. This author seems to get a lot of attention on LT and I've only read one of his.

Hemingway is a favorite for me, too. Though, I have to admit I haven't read everything yet. I am about to read A Farewell to Arms for the first time. One of my favorite books of all time is A Moveable Feast. The prose is so rich and the descriptions of some of Hemingway's contemporaries is ...

... read them in school so I was very surprised when I enjoyed A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. And I disliked A Farewell to Arms so much that I gave up on it after a couple of chapters so I was surprised that I loved For Whom the Bell Tolls.

... sure there are more, especially authors we had to read in school... Yes: Hemingway. I was really turned off by A Farewell to Arms. When an author doesn't seem to care about his own characters, my reaction is, "Well, why should I?"

9. A Farewell To Arms - Ernest Hemingway (Finished Jan 19) 332 pgs Completely and thoroughly enjoyed this book. Now onto: Nostromo - Joseph Conrad

Farewell to Arms made in 1932 with Gary Cooper and Helen Hayes; again in 1957 with Rock Hudson and Jennifer Jones. All very good actors in their day, well, most. I don't know if I can call Rock Hudson a good actor, but he was very easy on the eyes. Again, go rent them. OK, I'll shut up ...

I am sure Farewell to Arms was made into one of those great 1940s movies, maybe with Ingrid Bergman. Go rent it! Also, For Whom the Bell Tolls has been made into a movie. I hate it when really good old movies are remade by not so good updated movies.

I am currently reading A Farewell To Arms. I am not reading one after another and nothing else. But I am trying to throw one in every once in a while.

I think the opening paragraph of A Farewell to Arms is one of the most elegant sentences in English Literature.

I'm reading A Farewell To Arms, I have developed an obsession with Hemingway and started "Farewell" almost directly after completing The Sun Also Rises. Did you enjoy The Good Earth? I am a student and it was a summer reading book...I personally didn't enjoy it all that much but would ...

I totally agree with saying farewell to The Sun Also Rises by Hemingway (message 12). I sort of liked A Farewell to Arms, but this book just seemed like a bunch of annoying drama, even though I love Paris.

25. Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut 26. A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway Over the halfway hump! And bonus points, since I got to cross off three books off my 'classic must-reads'! Only about eleventy-billion more to go!

... Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, then I totally sympathize! I hated that book with a passion, although not as much as A Farewell to Arms. If you mean The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells, I can't sympathize because I've never read it!

... I'm going to give Wuthering Heights another chance. But some of the books that I've had to read (like Invisible Man and A Farewell to Arms) were pure and utter torture. Again, I blame that on the school. I haven't read Frankenstein yet, but it's definitely on my reading list, along ...

... think the copy I have was anything like Hemingway's noted curt style, which is probably why I liked it. I read it after A Farewell to Arms and found it 'softer' in style. Of course, this may be a false memory of an impression. I still have my copy. I'll have to look at it again.

... Hills Like White Elephants, A Clean, Well-Lighted Place, The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber and then move on to A Farewell to Arms. I also like The Sun Also Rises, but most Americans have been forced to read that in high school so it is almost pointless to recommend it.
