After that, it got tiresome.
LOL, the worst chapter was "This is John Galt Speaking". It was 60 pages (I think) and it took me three days to read it.

In my opinion, he might be the greatest author coming out of the USA besides Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson, let me not forget Ben Franklin.
waste of words. It's all junk. Except for the Old man and the Sea...that one kicks assp

The worst book of all time has to be Snows of Kilamanjaro

He's quite subtle. I didn't pick up what the narrator's disability was in The Sun Also Rises until it was pointed out to me, for example.

What can one say about an author that writes a book about a man that suffers severe wounds to his legs and titles it "Farewell to Arms"?

The only American author I've read. Well, Joseph Heller, but there aren't many. I guess people agree that Hemingway's worth the read?

We have a winner. I prefer Salinger to Hemingway, both are amazing though.
