35/52, The Old Man and the Sea, by Ernest Hemingway, 3/5 StarsHemingway did a fine job of writing in a style that flows similar to the way we speak, which makes this book very easy to read and ground-breaking in its time. Similar to The Old Man and the Sea, I've tried to make my tale easy to read, but also provoke deep thought. I only give Hemingway 3 stars because he doesn't provoke much deep thought, for me, in this tale. However, it's a great quick read (especially since I'm a few weeks behind in my goal).
35th book read in the 43rd week of the year. Yikes.
