What I am reading today.
I’m about half way through but I’m going to go for a walk and will finish when I return.

Waiting for your thoughts.
I’m almost done but I’m enjoying it. It almost has an innocence to it. It’s just an old fisherman struggling with a fish.
That’s what everyone seems to say. I’ve never read it, but from the outside it sounds like a really kinda pure story that you can imbue with extra meaning and emotion. Idk, I’ve never read it.
Also just remembered this SMBC comic about the size of the fish (spoiler b/c I don’t know how important this is to the plot):
I remember sobbing reading this book.
That is ominous. I was hoping this book ends positively but I guess I should change my expectations.
lol, so you didn’t finish reading it?
I should have put my message in a spoiler, sorry for that :-(
Yeah life got in the way.
Haha it’s fine, don’t feel bad. I think I’d rather know beforehand since the last two books were dystopian with bleak endings.
How are you liking it?
I’m enjoying it so far but I’m getting the feeling that it doesn’t end they way I hope it does.
It’s a simple read and I enjoy the descriptions of the wild life and the reverence the main character has for nature.
Please let us know what you think. One of my biggest insecurities is that I’ve never actually read any Hemmingway
I like it so far. I tried reading another Hemingway a while back but I enjoy this book more. It’s simple but nice.
I think you’re doing pretty well if that’s one of your top insecurities. I feel like I haven’t read 90% of what I “ought” to have haha
It’s a good book and a pretty easy read, imo.
