I finished The Old Man and the Sea, as well as Time Traveler's Wife and Good Omens. I'm wondering if I should scout out more Hemmingway books, or just go with The Selfish Gene. Maybe I can re-read A Random Walk Down Wall Street.
How much Hemingway have you read? The Sun Also Rises is definitely worth reading if you liked The Old Man and the Sea. Farewell to Arms as well, perhaps. EDIT: You might want to look up some Conrad and Graham Greene, as well (The Quiet American comes to mind, as does The Power and the Glory).
Oh my gosh, I didn't even see this post and as I was scouring the net for Hemingway, I downloaded both Farewell to Arms and Sun Also Rises. Big coincidence? Perhaps not. The Old Man and the Sea is the first Hemingway I've read I think, if you discount Hills Like White Elephants (good old English class). Is For Whom the Bell Tolls good? I didn't have the chance to read that in English class.
I personally had a hard time with For Whom the Bell Tolls, though it's also one of the more popular Hemingway books. It certainly has more plot/'action' than The Old Man and the Sea or The Sun Also Rises (in this I'd say it's more similar to Farewell to Arms), but I found that its length caused me to get quite tired of the (typically Hemingwayan) protagonist by the end. Your experience may be quite different from mine, though.
