Anything written by Faulkner or Hemingway.

Agree about Faulkner. But Hemingway is quite good at times. Mostly his short stories. I listened to The Old man and the Sea on tape read by Charlton Heston. Maybe that's why I liked it.

It was like listening to your dad reading a story to you.

But The Sun Also Rises was really hard to get through. It wasn't until I read the Cliff's notes that I picked up on the whole "impotence" theme. I did NOT get it when I read it. Unless you know that going in, it makes no sense whatsoever.
