I just finished "The Adventures of Augie March," book 1 on my top 100 list, and I must say that if they are all like that one, I'm not going to make it.  I will concede that the idea of the book was good, but I could never manage to become invested in the lives of the characters.  And given that this is a book about one guy and his "adventures" you kind of have to care about what he's doing.  The idea of this book was that this guy is always following others and eventually comes to this realization but never really changes his ways.  Anway, I basically spent the whole time bored and thinking about how stupid this guy is.  I give it a 2 out of 10, simply because it wasn't in a foreign language.

I'm taking a short break to read the last Harry Potter book, which I just borrowed from my boss.  I'm about 100 pages in and it's looking like a great change in my reading.  After that, I will resume my reading of "All the King's Men"  I'm about 100 pages into that one too and it's looking much better than the movie so I have some hope.  I'll let you know how it goes.
