I know that feel. But multiply it by like 8.
At least it's entirely free. And it's a nice feeling you get when you quickly finish 2-3 half read books in a day or so. Sucks when it's a popular book with only a few copies and you have to wait months for it again, though.

I always fantasize about the books and when I actually get them and read them, I feel a little disappointed because it was better in my head.

I'd say 80% of my collection is still unread. I'm so ashamed.

>>7455478
b-but it was classics and philosophy books!
The book is still bretty good, it's just not as good as I imagined it to be, but I suppose that's with everything in life.
>>7455491
what book
>>7455498
The Old Man and the Sea, I expected more shark killing and less baseball talk 2bh.
>>7455491
protip: the greeks (other than Homer) actually kind of suck, ppl just read them for historical significance not because they're good

About it specifically or Hemingway?
>Are his other books good?
Yes. I'd recommend reading reading In Our Time next, after that either Men Without Women for more short stories or The Sun Also Rises.

>About it specifically or Hemingway?
about it specifically, the'man is not made for defeat' quote and all that made me hyped as fuck to read it.
Anyway, thanks senpai. In Our Time and The Sun Also Rises is going on my to-read list after I plow through the other classics I bought.
>>7455555
Enjoy them, Hemingway is something else.
I really like this pancake cat.

What a post, friend.

You must be retarded.
Eurpides' and Sophocles plays are amazing
>>7455634
Hemingway is easily better than Faulkner.
>>7454943
Google 'Kot Blini'
>>7455634
Hemingway is both better than Faulkner and more of a typical 'modernist' writer. What the fuck is wrong with you?
