I thought old man and the sea was boring and pointless when I had to read it in grade 7 but 20+ years later, it hits me hard.

A collection of short stories. Can't recall what the actual title was called, but the book was just a collection of short stories by different authors. The different writing by each and the adoration that my professor had for each one just drew me to the stories even more. Can't say I'm a big fan of literature like he was, but I definitely respected that.
