A to Z Challenge: Old like The Old Man and the Sea

I may not be as old as the old man in the book The Old Man and the Sea. I am not even as old as the Pulitzer Award winning book by Ernest Hemingway. I am just growing gray. The book was cited when Hemingway won his Nobel Prize for Literature. I am writing about my second Nobel Prize award winning author so far this week so perhaps I am a bit better read than I thought.

Original book cover

The Old Man and the Sea is one of my favorite books a novella actually. Hemingway is one of my favorite authors I have read most of his works if not all. I like the nautical or tropical adventures from Steinbeck, Benchley, Jimmy Buffett and Bob Morris which I a sure I have written about before.

I like fishing, I like the quest and adventure. I enjoy a great story set in a place I can visit in a daydream. I also like a book or story that grabs me and takes me for the ride. Hemingway delivers for me in this book.


Above is the movie trailer which I haven't seen. I wonder if the movie is as good as my imagination when I read the book?

Well today was a short visit with The Old Man...
