I chose to read the book “The Sun Also Rises” by Ernest Hemingway , published in 1926. I was persuaded my my mom’s expression when she lit up as I pulled it off the shelf. After reading the first few pages I would say the story is straight forward. There are no extra words to make it look pretty. This book is a war story and surprisingly I still want to read it because I think reading history is boring and confusing. But Hemingway words things in ways that are very easy to follow so I’m excited to see if this book can change my perspective on war stories.
