Wow, you went straight for the big guns in fiction! But I love it. I, too, used to stay away from fiction mostly just because I loved theology, spiritual formation and memoir (the latter still being my favorite genre), but now I appreciate fiction so much more. I also like to read that before bed and non-fiction in the mornings when I like to read and write and reflect.
Yes! After getting into "modern" stoicism in the last couple of years while concurrently taking an interest in writing, I sort of went from Ryan Holiday to Steven Pressfield. Both of them refer to Hemingway a good bit, so I dove in.
