If I haven't read it, does that mean it isn't art? I'm pretty sure all I know about The Old Man and the Sea is that a guy goes fishing, catches a big fish, and dies. And I'm not even sure of that last part. Still, it's a classic, and I'm willing to count it without having read it.
[I just looked it up on Wikipedia and it's only 127 pages. That's short enough that I may actually read it!]
I'm going to point out how much I disliked this book. Not that my personal opinion is an indicator of the worth of a work. Just wanted everyone to know I did not enjoy this one.
ReplyDeleteThumbs down. I, too, hated this book. Fish, fish, fish, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, whine, whine, whine. Apparently, some people like it, but I am not one of them, either.
