The Sun Also Rises
by Ernest Hemingway
This feels like a book that you'll either love or hate. Hemmingway definitely takes a pretty restrained approach; this book is all about the things that are left unsaid. If you enjoy reading into subtext, you'll go nuts. If you don't, this book is definitely going to drag on for you. Page after page of a bunch of guys bar hopping and quietly (and less quietly) pining after the same woman. The dialogue all feels very fluid and real, in part since Hemmingway doesn't attribute most quotes to their speakers. With all the rapid back and forth, it can be hard to follow who said what.
I appreciated the style of this book, but overall it just wasn't my cup of tea. I'd still give Hemmingway another shot after this.
