The Sun Also Rises - Hemmingway

At some point in my teens, having only read history for a few years, I decided to read a proper novel to see what they were all about. I went into the Easons on shop street and recognised the name Hemingway, so I started here. Hemingway is great, (For Whom the Bell Tolls is also a banger, and he has many great short stories), but this is still my favourite of his. Simultaneously uber macho and uber romantic, stylish, exotic, exciting.
