Hobologist posted:Reading A Farewell to Arms was like pulling teeth. Hemingway writes like a piece of wood. But I liked 1984; Orwell is the most readable of all modern-era writers, fictional or nonfictional, and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise. I haven't revisited either of these books since high school but I felt exactly the opposite. 1984 didn't do it for me and I found A Farewell to Arms revelatory and ended up reading a bunch of Hemingway. dirby posted:Least favorite: maybe some translation of The Odyssey? I'm not sure what was my least favorite. I could see getting bored with the Iliad, but the Odyssey? Come on.
