What to Read Next

[Paul Kemp]

Any suggestions? I'm sticking to fiction, for now I think. I've been considering going with a Hemingway (have already read Farewell to Arms) or F. Scott Fitzgerald (have already read The Great Gatsby and Tender is the Night), both of which I'd like to read more of. I'm leaning towards either The Sun Also Rises or This Side of Paradise. Not sure which one yet.

Any one have any input or suggestions? I'm open to other options. I've been looking into Graham Greene, who I don't believe I've read any thing from at all.

No. I know of Crime and Punishment but never read it.

The Sun Also Rises was written by Ernest Hemingway.

Yes it is. And?

If you want to try Dostoyevsky, I think Notes From the Underground might be a better introduction, if only because it's rather short.  So it's not a huge time commitment to get all the way through.

I thought you were confusing it with F. Scott Fitzgerald's books.

Thank you. I'll add it to my list.

Graham Greene is fantastic. I think you'd enjoy Our Man in Havana.

For Hemingway I'd recommend For Whom The Bell Tolls. I find that fantastic.

I can of course only echo Al's suggestion of Dostoevsky as well.

Thank you for your input, Gustaf.

I've seen the film version of "Our Man in Havana" with Alec Guinness; don't recall it too much but I'm sure the novel is superior.

I was also considering delving into LeCarre.

If you haven't done so already, that's certainly not a bad idea.

I've seen some of the film adaptions, but never read him. He's been on my list. I was planning on starting with A Murder of Quality should I go with him.

Guessing from you list that you are going for early 20th century American novels? My favorite in that nook is An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser. Yes, I'm well aware that the author was a commie. But, it's still a damn good story, and very loosely based on a true story. Also, Arrowsmith by Sinclair Lewis. Very clever satirical story with a sad ending. Where have all the leftist novelists gone anyway?
