I find his style a nice antidote to life, if it is a little rigid at times.
Though I always find myself cursing him for being such a bastard at the end of each novel.
To have and have not & The sun also rises, I would recommend.
For whom the bells toll was probably the hardest to read but also the most, I wouldn't say rewarding or enjoyable but it's still the only book to make me choke up a bit.
You bastard!

I think he's fucking brilliant. 'Men Without Women' is well worth a look.

I'm reading Men Without Women now.

I've previously read The Sun Also Rises and A Moveable Feast.

I'm wondering if I should tackle A Farewell to Arms next.

I've only read For Whom the Bell Tolls. I thought it was an excellent book.

I once took A Moveable Feast out of the library for my then-girlfriend and we had a bust-up and I never got it back and had to replace the copy myself. I'm sure there's some irony in there somewhere.

which are his best books?

I've only read the end of something - a short story.

I'll start with 'Men Without Women'.

I hadn't realised Tom Cruise had written anything.
