the old man and the sea

i am about to read the old man in the sea, by ernest hemingway. i am really looking forward to reading this book. One of the reasons I really want to read this book is because I really like ernest hemingway. I have read several books by him and I have liked them all a whole lot. I really like the way he writes and would like to continue to read books by him. Another reason I want to read this book is because many people have recommended this book to me. My dad has read a lot of ernest hemingway’s books and he said this was his favorite one. I think that the books I have already read were great, so I want to see if this one is as good as the others. another reason I want to read this book is because I really enjoy reading about fish or fishing. I have done a decent amount of fishing in my life and I really love fish, so I find anything to do with fish very interesting. I find the plot of the old man and the sea very intriguing because I enjoy reading about just average guys trying to make a living. This book is about a poor fisherman and I think a story about that could be really interesting and I look forward to reading it. Right now I have very high expectations about this book because of all of the recommendations and compliments it has received.
