Old Man and the Sea (Special) | 
pickFirst read was 56 years ago (required by HS) - I had neither patience nor stamina for it despite the fact that it was less than 200 pages. Why would I? Though I‘ve experienced all of that by now; in 1968 I‘d never had a fishing experience, never been far out into the Gulf of Mexico, knew nothing of Spanish language or culture, and did not even know an “old man”. Read it again yesterday. Quelle difference! Cont‘d in comments👇🏻
Eggs Universal, enduring, powerful and classically existential. Highly recommend. #LitsyLove #ReadAway2024 3w

TheBookgeekFrau Hmmmm, I might have to give it another go. Read it in HS, too, and felt the way you did. I think most students did/do 😂 3w
UwannaPublishme This was one of my faves too by Hemingway. Did you see the movie? Spencer Tracy was really good in it. 3w
