Will i like anything if i hated Old man and the sea

Op here,
So many authors i love seem to like Hemingway, and friends i respect. But i read the small and celebrated book about the old fuck in the sea and his boy, and i struggled to finish it, the simple sentences was a bore, but i can handle it, but the overall tone of the book, some sentimental bollocks that iu just don't have on me...

so iu was wondering should i read the short stories and the rest

At least give his war setting novels a shot, omats was a bore but I really liked for whom the bell tolls

Haven't read that one, but I thought For Whom the Bell Tolls was glorious

You sound autistic

Hemingway has more to offer than OMATS. His novels set in wartime like The Sun Also Rises, For Whom the Bell Tolls and Farewell to Arms are considered his best works.

It's about redemption. His whole life was a failure but he was able to reclaim his manhood/honor in the end. That it's never too late to do something great.

YEAH i hated the manhood in OMATS, the war novels are like that too? All that stuff about being strong and a real man hoho, disgusting

Ming Wei is total govno latched onto by pseuds. Don't bother with him.

idk man, maybe try some Russian stuff like Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Gogol and so on.

or do you mean specially Hemingway's stuff? by "Will i like anything" I thought you meant all of literature.

Rilke is better
