My favourite Hemingway work is "A Farewell to Arms". I've never understood the fixation on J.D. Salinger however - A Catcher in the Rye isn't all that good.
Dare I suggest it would be more productive to read H.P. Lovecraft? ;)

My favourite Hemingway work is "A Farewell to Arms".I've never read any Hemingway other than "The Old Man and the Sea". We were actually forced to read that book cover to cover in class while the teacher watched us, than write an essay about it for homework. I was so angry that I've never been able to bring myself to read any other Hemingway. I know I should get over this but I haven't been able to.

I hated CITR. Bored me to tears in HS. Now Lovecraft was my favorite author for a while. Then I discovered Heinlein, Asimoov, C.S. Lewis....
