@r3t3ch@mastodon.social it reminded me of Kerouac's On the Road, another mid-century so-called classic. I loathed that one, but I managed to finish it because it was like watching a car crash in slow motion. I really don't understand the fascination with irredeemable characters.
@Dodo_sipping@cupoftea.social @r3t3ch@mastodon.social I loved Old Man and the Sea. It was short, which is always a boon.
While I enjoyed moments, I only got half-way through this. I wanted to finish it, but I kept finding excuses to not read it. Maybe, if I had fewer library books piled on my bedside table, I might have continued a little longer with this one.
