Query: Doesn't stand the test of time

On my third attempt, I finally made it all the way through The Sun Also Rises. I forced myself to finish it, even though the plot never engaged my interest and the dialog is terribly dated and worn. I read it to see what make it a classic. To me, the book doesn't stand the test of time. To quickly paraphrase the story: We ate. We walked over there. We drank and ate. We walked over here. We argued. We watched a bullfight. We drank some more... If there is something "important" about this book I missed it. If you're a fan of clever dialog and would like something a bit more current, I'd recommend "The City of Your Final Destination" by Peter Cameron or "The City of Thieves" by David Benioff.
