Hemingway seems to be catching a lot of flack. Fair enough, although I didn't mind The Old Man and the Sea. My most hated was Portrait of Dorian Gray...deathly boring. It dragged forever. Although I did choose it for school which may have increased my dislike for it. Catcher in the Rye ...

Yesterday and today I read The Old Man and the Sea, which I can't believe I never read in school. Next up is A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers (touchstone not loading).

The Old Man and The Sea. B-O-R-I-N-G.

The old man and the sea by Ernest Hemingway

... Dying is a different matter entirely, of course. That really is a professional league read. For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Old Man and the Sea, et alii can be read more quickly, I suppose, but can they be read as deeply? That was not my experience of those two books, but I ask the question ...

... my first list, I think that I might need some of them: 1. The Great Gatsby 2. Alias Grace 3. Oliver Twist 4. The Old Man and the Sea 5. Invisible Man 6. Beloved 7. Frankenstein 8. Dracula 9. Get Shorty 10. Dangerous Liasons 11. The Count of Monte Cristo 12. B ...

The Sea, The Sea by Iris Murdoch Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys The old man and the sea by Ernest Hemingway How to breathe underwater by Julie Orringer The Girl Who Stopped Swimming by Joshilyn Jackson

... think? I am talking collectors with deep pocket books, not people like me. A lot of Sinclair Lewis's work, Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea were first serialized in magazines but the magazines are all but worthless. My favorite though is Robert Crais The Monkeys Raincoat, it was a ...

#50! The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway. This captivatingly simple narrative reveals the inner strength of the old Cuban fisherman, Santiago, who draws on all his reserves in his striving to fulfil what he believes he was born to do. His esteem for the fish he is about to kill is ...

... Some of his works include The Sun Also Rises, True at First Light, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Farewell to Arms, The Old Man and the Sea.... Sometimes you must go to extremes to grab a touchstone and still it doesn't work!

I concur that The Old Man and the Sea was terrible. Personally, I find Hemingway totally overrated in general. My literary nightmare in high school - the recurring nightmare others described - was Great Expectations. I hated it the first time, and hated it more the second time I had to read ...

Message 1: The two book are nothing alike. Also, I liked Life of Pi much better than The Old Man and the Sea. Message 2: The ending really is pretty good, but it isn't going to impress you if you didn't like the first fifty pages of the book. -- M1001.

... that, they don't have that much in common. In my opinion at least. So I wouldn't give up on Life of Pi because you hated The Old Man and the Sea. You may still not like it, but I wouldn't toss it aside just because of that comparison.

... My town used Life of Pi as it's One City, One Book book. I got a copy, read the back cover (in which is was compared to Old Man and the Sea, which I hated) and I think that turned me off the book. I started it, but kept thinking "If this is a man in a boat book, no thank you." I couldn't ...

... to the equally popular pursuit of fishing. There are countless novels and films featuring fishermen, from the crusty Old Man and the Sea types to the refined fly fishermen of A River Runs Through It. Why is birding so unattractive to authors and producers? The UK's major bird ...

... to me more. I can still appreciated however how Hemingway pared down language in his writing style even if I think his Old Man and the Sea Christ symbolism is over the top. But in reading for fun I can see how being able to appreciate literary style would not be enough to compensate for ...

... actually read what was assigned to me. Mostly because I did read the 8th grade assignements (Red Badge of Courage and The Old Man and the Sea) and hated them so much that I pretty much just stopped. The only assigned books I remember reading after that were Shakespeare (because we read ...

... movies, Night of the Hunter). Some might not think of Hemingway or Pynchon as too distinctively religious, but the Old Man and the Sea positively drips (sorry about that) with religious imagery. And I think Pynchon's books are generally inspired by the Hageesque. Then there is the ...

Taking "sea" from your title, I'll go with The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway.

Finished Thursbitch and have embarked on a similarly short one, The Old Man and the Sea. I'm all about artificial number inflation this month!

... as well as some of her others. I love her descriptions of characters though, you just get drawn into their world. 12. The Old Man And The Sea by Ernest Hemingway A classic of course, I'm not a huge fan of Hemingway's but this one is so short, who can resist? 13. Breath, Eyes, Memory ...

I just finished The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway I have run in a couple of Marathons in my lifetime and would love to do so again. This is a must read for any marathon runner.

The Garden Party only lasts part of a day. The Old Man and the Sea, possibly. The story is his fishing trip and I don't think it lasts more than a day. -- M1001

... of Pi was our towns One City: One book selection a couple of years ago. I started reading it thinking "This is as bad as Old Man and the Sea. I flipped the book around and one of the reviewers compared it quite favorably to that novel. I couldn't make it any further.

... think them awful. True, I never read a lot of the books that a lot of other kids had to read like The Catcher in the Rye, The Old Man and the Sea and Of Mice and Men, but I'll get to those in due time. (I am highly appreciative of my high school's approach to teaching English at this moment.)

The Old Man and the Sea Maeby's first movie was based on this book! Remember GOB and the cats on the boat? :D

LET THERE BE LIFE! #8 I agree, the second book I thought of after reading the first post in this thread was The old man and the sea. I had to read it for class in 8th grade and I was so mad when I finished it. I felt like I had just lost 2 hours of my life (thank goodness it was short!) All ...

... is so full of questions, so deep, I don't even know where to start on my comments of it. It kind of felt like a mixture of The Old Man and the Sea and Lord of the Flies with religion thrown in to boot. I enjoyed the beginning a lot, learning about Pi's backgroud. I'm a Christian, and I've ...

I'd have to nominate The Old Man and the Sea (by Hemingway, naturally). Read it first at about 12 (didn't get it), again at about 15 (got it, I thought, but found it tedious and horrible), then again at 27 (finally actually got it and really liked it). Even though I hated it as a younger ...

... English Lit-Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, and of course Charlotte Bronte (Jane Eyre). Life of Pi is often compared to The Old Man and the Sea (however, dispising the second, I couldn't really get into the first). I thought The Venetian's Wife was a good parallel to The Awakening. The ...

A Light in the Window by Jan Karon The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway

... short to deal with his convoluted prose. My father, from whom I have inherited my bookworm tendencies, gave me a copy of The Old Man and the Sea for my 14th birthday in a sort of "read this, my son, then you will understand what it means to be a man" gesture. I read it in an afternoon and it ...

The Old Man and the Sea just could not keep my attention. Heart of Darkness and The Scarlett Letter were almost as tedious. Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man was also not my favorite read, and I can't say I didn't like the book at all because I did to an extent. I think it was just ...

We read The Old Man and the Sea in 7th grade and I HATED it. I've always loved reading, but there were quite a few books throughout Jr. and Sr. High that I couldn't bear to read. Being the smart kid I was I just scanned most of them and faked my way through. I think my 5th and 6th grade ...

Old Man and the Sea Ernest Hemingway

The Old Man and the Sea?

#58 The Old Man and the Sea! The Old Man and the Sea! The Old Man and the Sea! OMG, I finally KNEW one! YIPPEE! (I was seriously getting a complex). LOL! And now: "First the colors."

Old Man and the Sea If so (ifs and ifs and ifs): Sing to me of a man, Muse, a man of twists and turns...

Also The Old Man and the Sea was recently made as an animated movie. http://www.amazon.com/Old-Man-Sea-Animated-IMAX/dp/B00080M2UI The animation was so lovely, watching pieces of art. It's always been one of my favourite Hemingway stories and now I've got it on DVD too.

... by Frederick Forsyth? I haven't read this story, but someone mentioned it in another thread as a sort of retelling of The Old Man and the Sea. The book came out in 1983.

... short story collection No comebacks has one Hemmingway like story in it - his the emporer is a very good retelling of the old man and the sea. maybe you'll like his other work. It does tend to feature the sort of themes you mentioned.

If we talk classics, I think I want to add The Old Man and the Sea. Apologies to anyone who loves this book, but I felt bad for the fish. (Animal lover, through and through) I'm afraid to mention the more recent book that I don't like, as I know there are some here who love it. I tried really ...

Interesting. I will refrain from commenting on the rest of your statement and just answer this: I had to read Old Man and the Sea as well as A Farewell to Arms. I did read some of his short stories. I can't recall the name as it has been over 25 years since I've read them but I know that ...

I just finished The Old Man and the Sea and it reminded me of a story I read 30-ish years ago with a very similar story about a man who accidentally hooks a huge manta ray. It is set in New England, I believe. It was in some sort of short story collection. Any ideas?

I think it will be The Old Man and the Sea.

Re: #18 I felt the same way the first two times I read The Old Man and the Sea, in junior high and then in high school. I would never have re-read it except my boyfriend loves it, so I gave it another shot, and really liked it this time. For me, at least, being a little bit older and having ...
