Hi,

I am curious to know what women who have read Ernest Hemingways books think of his style, writing, etc. as his books are very masculine oriented and typically on the topics of men and their struggles. I recently started reading The Old Man And The Sea and as I was reading it, the thought occurred to me that I really couldn’t imagine a woman relating to what was being said on the page.

So I’m curious, female readers who have read his books…do you relate to much of what its saying? What do you think of his books?

Sorry if this sounds naive/obtuse, that is not my intention.

    I honestly loved the Old man and the Sea. I tried reading to have or have not and it was ok, i didn t quite like it but it s bc I had a time gap reading it/ read it too fast, I don t recall which one it was

      I’ve read a bunch of his stuff, to have and have not, is not his best. Not by a long shot.
