The ending to A Farewell to Arms humbled me. No wonder H. won the Nobel.
Nice reading list.

Thank you!
And yes, I found the ending to A Farewell to Arms quite humbling myself too. They had a complete relationship at that point. It was very sad, and also a hurl back into the painfully realistic world.
One thing I found so good about A Farewell to Arms is that it doesn't allow you to dream away. At no point does Hemingway dream away, the story is always very real.

His almost "existential" interior monologue, the sparsity of it, so much in so little words. I wish I'd known him. So many questions I could've asked...
Anyway, let me know how you enjoyed Ulysses once you tackled it. I'm only on page 40.

It's not so much the lack of words (his descriptions are rather lengthy, actually), but more the lack of '
I will. Ulysses is not high on my priorities list, however, since it's pretty hard to find in my country. Our library doesn't have it, for instance. Naturally, the same goes for Finnegans' Wake and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. I do really want to read those three books though. I've heard Joyce is a masterful writer.

Haha yes, but what I meant to say by "so little words," is that he describes things without excessive synonyms and language. Such as, "Henry walked underneath the bridge towards yada yada," as opposed to, "Henry sauntered underneath the stony eaves of the cobblestone bridge, a rivulet trickling beneath his frayed boot soles..."
I hope you find some works by Joyce. He's a good one.

Oh, in that case, yeah, definitely. He most certainly didn't use a thesaurus.
As a non-native speaker (and thus a somewhat less expansive vocabulary), I can really appreciate Hemingway's style. It was a welcome change after reading the far more intensive work of Anthony Burgess, for example.

Sigh. Didn't proofread that 
More subtle than 1984. Ugh.

Finished Brave New World, so here's that thing you asked for:
It's more subtle than Brave New World, in many ways more interesting. It doesn't have the same impact, but it does evoke quite a bit of thought, especially on the nature of rebellion

Sounds cool. I think I'll get it from the library, right after I've finished "A Farewell to Arms".
