I've finished my first read of Hemingway's novel, "For Whom the Bell Tolls"!
I've been reading the fiction for more than one year. It was a difficult uphill path to tread initially, I'd admit, with great loads of new words, especially the one-syllable ones, which Hemingway was a master on. But gradually the reading became more and more engaging and interesting for me.
Hemingway, the well-known Nobel Laureate in Literature, obviously wrote quite well. It should be better to read him instead of some emotional yarns. This work of him, For Whom the Bell Tolls, is a famous war novel. I highly recommend it.
All in all, I've done this reading project all right! And it definitely serves as a milestone on my way of improving my English language skills. And now it's time to party and celebrate it!
