Hi Cheryl,
I just read Hemingway, not sure if he would be called a classic, or
just great.
It was the Garden of Eden. The characters were not complex to me, just
the same things over and over. One character was crazy. That is about all
I got out of that one. Granted, I don't think it is his best work, but it
was small and I thought it would be a place to start. It sure turns me off
of Hemingway.
There are a lot of classics, so it depends on which ones you are talking
about. I know there are good ones, but there are also some that are really
strange and hard to read.
Still, what does make something a classic, or great book, and who
decides this? And, are there great books being writen right now? Do people
label them great or classic now, or do they wait for years before deciding
this?
Thanks, Susie
