Well, we keep trucking along. Getting closer to the halfway mark. The Bridge of San Luis Rey by Thornton Wilder This book is really small. My copy was 117 pages. With that in mind, you wouldn’t think Wilder could put in so much emotion in to so few pages. In the 1700s, an old Incan […]

There’s no time. Let’s get right to it. Three more of the 100 greatest novels: A Handful of Dust by Evelyn Waugh Having never heard of this author and not being familiar with the story, I didn’t know what to expect. The novel started out very similar to numerous novels on this list: wealthy British […]
Sorry guys. With the combination of a busy personal life and a boring book, this post is long overdue. Lets get to it anyways. The Golden Bowl by Henry James Yes, another Henry James novel. I was just upset as you are. I truly don’t understand why three of his novels made it this high […]

But this isn’t a post about me so let’s get to it. The Studs Lonigan Trilogy by James T. Farrell Consisting of Young Lonigan, The Young Manhood of Studs […]

The story arch of the novel follows his life during the writing. When he first started the novel, before […]
It’s been incredibly too long since my last 100 greatest novels post. I sincerely apologize. But, Henry James! I struggled to get through these two books. The sentences were incredibly way too long. Each sentence had a minimum of a dozen commas, two semicolons, and at least one dash. Seriously. Anyways, let’s get through it. […]
