I had the opposite experience with Hemingway.
I loved The Old Man and the Sea but I hated The Sun Also Rises (which is about a bunch of insufferable, vacuous people engaging in petty arguments), which I read afterwards.
Truthfully I don't give authors second chances when I hate the first thing I read by them. Life is too short and there is too much to read. But I'm glad I didn't read TSAR first and it would have fit into this if I did and still read TOMATS afterwards.
I realize I'm a pleb/philistine/moron/whatever, but I cannot stand Hemingway lmao
I’m with you, the Old Man and the Sea sucked and idc who says what 🫠
