Some works are to be read AFTER your teenage years. One can only read a book for the first time once. Also, some of Hemingway's later works are often described as "Hemingway trying to write like Hemingway", and I have to agree. Hemingway DID make his own life very interesting, but he was also known to make it SEEM more interesting from time to time. But hey, he was ("one hell of a") a writer.
I'd also like to add that F. Scott Fitzgerald is required reading AFTER your teenage years along with Hemingway. He and Hemingway were close friends for a while.

Agreed. I appreciated both authors far more later on.
