The Sun Also Rises
Going into this book I did not really have an idea about what to suspect. After reading the first few pages I thought I was about to be told a story by Jake Barnes about Robert Cohn. However so far The Sun Also Rises really does not focus Cohn, but rather Jake Barnes.
Basically all that has happened so far in this book is Cohn and Barnes go out drinking what seems like every night to bars around Paris. An interesting character that is introduced a little later in the novel is Lady Ashley, who goes by the name Brett. Despite Brett's stunning looks she kind of seems like just one of the boys as she goes out drinking with Cohn and Barnes every night indulging in the same amount of alcohol as everyone else.
Jake Barnes and Lady Ashley have a weird relationship together. Although they're in love with each other they cannot get married because Lady Ashley already is planning to be married to someone else. Despite this she is not afraid to proclaim her love for Jake, yet they can never be together.
After my first reading session this book seems a little repetitive. They drink every night and do little work. Hopefully things will start to pick up once they embark to Spain with everyone invited: Cohn, Barnes, Brett, Bill Gorton Chon's friend, and Mike Campbell Brett's fiancee.
