Something about The Old Man And The Sea just brings me so much peace, it's weird. The book is so simple and soothing to me to read. My favorite line is when Hemingway describes the old man and says "The brown blotches of the benevolent skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic sea were on his cheeks." In fact, the way he's described in general just gives me such a vivid picture of this man and makes me love him all the more. I don't know. It's just such a good book. Also I will say Looking For Alaska messed me up for a few days.
