Hemingway Rocks. My favorites are For Whom the Bell Tolls and A Farewell to Arms. His short stories are good also.
But then, I never had to read him in an academic setting which may make all the difference.

I've never enjoy any mandatory reading, now I love to read Conrad and Hemmingway.

I remember after my professor assigned Proteus from Ulysses she said, well since most of you are going to give up after a few pages i'll summarize it, basically he walks around, day dreams, picks his nose and then masturbates. Enjoy.

I love to read Dickens, but Hawthorn I agree. The Scarlet Letter was awful.
