Just finished reading A Farewell to Arms and I am so unbelievably sad. I did not have any clue that Catherine was going to die. I am not happy about it. Mr. Henry and her were so happy and their life together was so romantic.
A part of the book that I loved is when Mr Henry was playing billiards with the old man, Count Greffi, and they were discussing the issue of wisdom. Count Greffi said, "That is the great fallacy; the wisdom of old men. They do not grow wise. They grow careful". This really made me think.
It seems like all of the great loves that I've been reading about end in tragedy. I am super excited to finally read a love story in which the couple gets to live happily ever after.
It seems like in order for that to happen, I'm going to go to a whole other set of classics that include Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. Thank goodness for Disney!
I love the way that Hemingway writes and I am thrilled that there are three other Hemingway books on the list!
