Literature(The Old Post and a Must Read)

The title may be a bit dramatic, but its a nice teaser into "The Old Man and the Sea".

I haven't stated this with the other stories, but this one, if you haven't already, you should go read. It is a heartbreaking tale about an old Cuban fisherman. A true man versus wild(and himself) story. It is fairly short and reads quickly.

I am not terribly big on all the old, must read authors. But, in case you couldn't tell, I am a huge fan of Steinbeck, Dickens'(well at least "Great Expectations"), and Hemingway(at least "The Old Man and The Sea"). Seriously, get some culture, and experience their tales. You can send me a check later.

What's not to like about "The Old Man and the Sea"? A good v. evil "struggle(its a stretch, but its there), a man v. wild(and himself), baseball, and fishing. "the Old Man in the Sea" reads much easier than it appears, and it s a good little story, and almost an epic, even for its length. And the Old Man dreams of lions. Enjoy.

Bonus:: I forgot about "The Great  Gatsby" too. Go read it. Then go see the movie with DiCaprio in it(or Redford for that matter). I hear the ladies find him dreamy.
