Do you have a favorite book that Ernest Hemingway has written?
Probably my favorite book is A Farewell to Arms, but all the books are good.
I have never read a book that he has written. I feel like that is interesting because of how popular he is.
Would you have any interest in reading a book by him? I can recommend some.
Absolutely. I would love it if you could give me a recommendation. My favorite type of book is mystery.
I think The Old Man and the Sea is a good one to start with. It is short and excellent and has a great story.
I heard that The Old Man was based off a true story. 
It was a little bit, as far as I know, but it is still significantly fiction.
Oh OK. I didn't know that. My favorite book series that I have ever read are the Harry Potter books.
That is interesting. My only warning is that Hemingway is not close to the Harry Potter books.
