I'm reading "The Old Man and the Sea". I haven't gotten far enough into the book to say if I'd recommend it or not, but what I like about it is the author's characterization. Ernest Hemingway does a great job describing aspects of the characters, through dialogue, narration, and even straight-forward description. Despite the fact that I haven't read much, the book is well-written and easy to comprehend. If figurative language is used, they're things such as metaphor or simile--things that are easy to follow.
