NormanCorn Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Just got done reading The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway. I think I could write like Hemingway, too. "We went to this town, ate, and drank something. Then we moved on and drank somewhere else. Awoke the next morning and drank something..." Maybe I just don't get him, or the two that I've read of him (also A Moveable Feast) weren't the best picks. I also finished A Light In August by William Faulkner and I liked that one much better. I think I have a soft spot for the early 1900's South. Steinbeck is also a favorite author of mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malarkey Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I have been re-reading some of Mark Twain's short stories. One of my favorites is "The Damned Human Race." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clan Friend SunLight Posted July 5, 2014 Clan Friend Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) I'm reading The Shadow of the wind by Carlos Ruiz ZAFON, really nice book but i'm reading it in english and so i have to translate a lot of words and traslate them into french, it takes time. I think you should look up only those words which prevent you from understanding key points, or when you are really curious abuot their meaning, otherwise it would be less enjoable to read I'm listening to the audiobooks of 'Das Lied von Eis und Feuer' (Game of Thrones) in German, and I'm far from being able to understand *all* the words, but I still enjoy the story even if my word 'coverage' is like 80%-90% of the text edit: p.s. If you do it to learn the language, it's probably ok... boring, but it counts as study. I've read 'welcome to the nhk' in Japanese, and I had to look up every other word Edited July 5, 2014 by SunLight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parrot Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Just got done reading The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway. I think I could write like Hemingway, too. "We went to this town, ate, and drank something. Then we moved on and drank somewhere else. Awoke the next morning and drank something..." Maybe I just don't get him, or the two that I've read of him (also A Moveable Feast) weren't the best picks. I also finished A Light In August by William Faulkner and I liked that one much better. I think I have a soft spot for the early 1900's South. Steinbeck is also a favorite author of mine. Try "For whom the bell tolls". I loved that book. Having said that, Hemingway is a very distinctive style, some people don't like it. I'm reading "Lawrence in Arabia" atm, fascinating look at T.E. Lawrence and the leadup to and the events of WW1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
