The Sun Also Rises Ernest Hemingway
Pretty cool stuff. Definitely makes me want to go to Spain and enjoy the fiesta. Also want to go fishing in a village in Spain. (San Sebastian, Burguete, Pampalona). Also really want to drink wine from a leather wine skin. In terms of the actual story, I enjoyed it. It definitely dragged at times, but I'm still trying to understand the take-away message. Honestly not sure there is a takeaway message here. Focus on Brett/Cohn/Mike/Pedro seems like a metaphor but damned if I know. Regardless, pretty cool. Upon later reflection, maybe the message is to live independently? Everybody unhappy in the book seems to have an unhealthy dependence on others (Cohn for Brett, Brett for anybody, etc.) I feel like I had the most respect for the narrator when he was away from everyone else exploring that random place in Spain.
