The Sun Also Rises

This book is another one of those books ... considered great as a classic, but just not one that I found very enjoyable. I feel almost the same about [b:On the Road 70401 On the Road Jack Kerouac https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1413588576l/70401.SX50.jpg 1701188], a book about a set of friends on an extended vacation who get really really drunk all the time. Hemingway's writing style is so choppy compared to the tomes I typically read that it was unnerving and almost seemed juvenile. Additionally, I missed a very very important piece of this book's puzzle, I totally didn't get that Jake couldn't have sex anymore due to his war injury. I would've read his interactions with Blake differently, and understood her weird behavior. But good for Hemingway to write about a woman very comfortable in her own sexuality, especially one in a time when speaking as she does was very taboo. I do want to visit after reading this novel.
