struggled with it, but count it...

One of my reading group members likes to challenge herself as a reader. Sometimes that spills over into our group. I admit, I struggled with this book. It felt like three different novellas slapped together instead of the flow of a novel. I read the first two sections and began the third, but needed to cut it with something more summery, lighter. I'm counting it as a read book, though, because I read 80% of it.

That , like most of Hemmingway is heavy duty reading. Congrats on 80%.

While I love Papa's prose, I'm not crazy about his stories. I often feel bad about this. Since you're a teacher and you struggled with him, I feel like I got a Hemingway hall pass.
