The Old Man and the Sea
Lately I have been thinking about buying the book The Old Man and the Sea, by Ernest Hemingway, because I heard it is an useful book for English learners to read, in order to improve my writing and reading skills. I like Peguim Readers' collection, but they are expensive in here and hard to find at libraries. Also, I want to test myself, and reading a classic in English which is not an adaption seems like a good opportunity to do it. But sometimes I am afraid of reading a book in its original form and not understanding it fully.
Have you read The Old Man and the Sea? Is there a book you would like to recommend?

The Old Man and the Sea

I like the Peguin Readers' collection, but they are expensive here and hard to find at libraries. Also, I want to test myself, and reading a classic in English which is not an adaption seems like a good opportunity to do it.
