I think "To Have and Have Not" is a great one, it's not too long either. Try renting the movie and then reading the book... The contrast is striking; the Bogart/Bacall version is nothing like Hemingway's at all, it's like the difference between a Saturday morning cartoon and an Oliver Stone movie. But I like both of them for what they are.

THAHN is very underrated for Hemingway, it's a brutal portrait of Key West smugglers with great local detail.
