To Have and Have Not
by Ernest Hemingway
Less of a novel and more loosely connected short stories. I thought this was a plague of modern fiction but this is from 1937. I liked the writing style, some themes (economic inequality for one) and occasionally scenes. I didn't like the "plot", the machoism, the overt racism (funnily, "fuck" was a no go but slures were fine), the main characters.
I was glad this book was so short, but the sparse writing style was good enough that want to read more Hemingway. I read "A Farewell to Arms" ages ago and didn't like it, but I'm curious about "The Sun Also Rises".
