I managed to get through one Hemingway novel, and halfway through

their titles.

Agreed.

I have a book called "The Essential Hemingway" whch has some of his
novellas and short stories, which I enjoyed.

His longer books, however, I found boring. I think the only one I
finished was "The Old Man and the Sea", and found that boring, and
full of misleading stuff about marine biology too.

My review here:
