The Old Man and the Sea

Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea is a very short novel; one of those classics that should be read by everyone. In high school I had to read it, but I didn't; instead I had someone tell me what happened, and took the respective test. Now, with genuine interest, I decide to retake the task of reading the novella, and, what a delight! What a treat the honorable battle between man, old man, and fish, marlin, it was! If you are slightly interested in the bohemian lifestyle of the sea, or just want a good story of man versus nature, check it out.
