21: The Sun Also Rises

Product DetailsEmbarrassingly, I had never read this novel before, which is one reason why I chose it as one of my reads for Dana Huff's Book Challenge Books I Wish I Had Read in High School.

My husband loves Hemingway.  Let's just say, I grew to appreciate the storyline and his style.  Lots of dialogue.  A tad bit stream of consciousness.  Man stories.  Man desires.

As an English teacher, I did appreciate the symbolism of the bulls and the bull fighting.  Really think the story was told on two levels.

Will I read Hemingway again?  Of course!  As that English teacher, I, again, am embarrassed to admit that I have read so little of Hemingway's works.
