Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea

That’s right. Read it in high school. Didn’t love it.
Tried to read it again recently. Still didn’t love it.
In fact, not only do I not love this novel. In high school, I never got through it. I copied a friend’s homework when we had to fill out the reading sheets about the book.
This time around, I made it a lot further, but at roughly page 100 I started skimming.
I simply don’t find the old man’s battle with the sea and the great fish all that interesting.
Want to.
Don’t.
