I don't care for Hemmingway, either, based on the one book of his I did read -
The Sun Also Rises.  *Snore*   The main point of the book seemed to be about
people sitting around getting drunk.

In my high school English class, the teacher wanted us to read Invisble Man,
by Ralph Waldo Ellison.  After we realized it wasn't the HG Wells story,
I helped lead a class revolt against it and she picked a different book for us
to read.  Later, in college, I ended up having to read Invisible Man for a
class, and I discovered it was a quite twisted, but excellent, book.  So I
still feel a bit guilty about that.
