In fact, I reread some Chrales Dickens recently when I had to read a passage to my daughter and though she had trouble sitting through it, I remembered how much I love Dickens. I'll take a classic over anything. I try to hold my writing up to that standard as much as I am persoanlly able with what talent God saw fit to provide me. So glad you found me on Book Blogs and I found you.<br />Carla Coon (http://carlacoon.com)Carla Coonhttp://carlacoon.com/theglennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4601716614532291665.post-39292229966643377242012-08-20T09:14:34.024+01:002012-08-20T09:14:34.024+01:00Hi and thanks for following.

I came across a review recently where someone disliked his work immensely, but rather than providing a positive critique, they chose to be rather scathing and derogatory. I was surprised by my reaction and realised for the first time how much I value & appreciate literature as opposed to merely like/enjoy it.<br /><br />There are books I'm not particularly fond of, written by some of the greatest writers, past & present. However, no matter how boring I may find them, I can't deny how well crafted and written they are.<br /><br />I agree with your comments -his dialogue and his language overall was very simple & direct yet still poetic. This book , I felt, says a lot about the man himself and his experiences in early adulthood(war etc). Perhaps it even sheds light on his failed relationships in later life. And yes, it's one that's definitely worth a re-read. <br /> Suzy Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01422821411216220911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4601716614532291665.post-50879862244569152482012-08-19T22:25:44.685+01:002012-08-19T22:25:44.685+01:00Thanks for your visit:)

It has something that nowadays few books (the few books I read) have: repetition, misunderstanding, and omission. Sometimes things are repeated and sometimes characters don't really understand each other. At other times the dialogue suddenly stops or omits facts, Just like real life. These details make the dialogues great. <br /><br />Now, it's a few years ago that I read the book, so I do hope that what I wrote actually concerns 'A Farewell to Arms.' I'm staring at the cover now and regardless of the dialogue, the book is definitely worth a reread.

Glad you liked his writing though -his style is distinctive and different; original.I enjoyed researching him also. Hope you get the chance to read this one.<br />Best wishes<br />SuzySuzy Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01422821411216220911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4601716614532291665.post-44451854861351076132012-08-13T15:42:45.925+01:002012-08-13T15:42:45.925+01:00I finally read my first Ernest Hemingway book (A M...I finally read my first Ernest Hemingway book (A Moveable Feast) earlier this year and definitely want more.
