This book is about the most over praised work of junk I've ever read. Even your attempt at finding something meaningful in it was comical. He could have called it Satiago and the Marlin but it's not about that, right? Santiago is trying to catch a fish to sell it so it's really a condemnation of a capitalist system that requires someone to risk their life and dignity to make money. Also, the struggle. In the end the conclusion is that no matter how hard you work you end up with nothing. Although it's only 100 pages it's very repetitive and tedious to read.
