The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway was a spectacular summer read. I highly recommend picking up the book on for a lazy Sunday afternoon. The simple description of Cuba alone is reason to pick up the book, and then when the man traverses out to sea on a journey for his catch his battle with age, the water, and the fish is a beautiful piece of work. Not that I am a literary critic by any means though, I did find the dialogue that the man has with himself a bit of a stretch. It is quite an easy read and will stay with you for a bit.
