] Ernest Hemingway. UGH! How did the man EVER get published?

I actually like Hemingway - a lot. Especially The Sun Also Rises. Oh well...

I have this tendency to usually like all the books I'm "supposed" to like. With two major exceptions: Steinbeck's The Pearl. I never knew what real agony meant before I had to read that one for a school project. For some reason I've never felt like picking up anything else by Steinbeck since. And Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings (I hope I got the name right). I've started reading it plenty of times, but never gotten anywhere. It's sooo boring. Now I guess it's my time to say UGH. UGH UGH. UGHHH.
