Okay, I wouldn't say I am not making ANY progress, but I am very stunted in my reading pursuits right now. I am almost finished with The Alienist and I am thinking that Jane Austin's Persuasion is next up. I will say that, though I am not admitting defeat in reading 100 books in a year, I am going to say that it is easy to read 100 books in a year. However, it is difficult to read 100 really good books and savor them accordingly.
I have pretty much thrown the numbers out the window and I am getting back to my reading list. I will be thrilled if I reach 100 with many of my books knocked of my to-do list.
The Alienist was one of my favorite books, this is the first time I have re-read it. I love the seedy post-civil war New York. All Gangs of New York-ish where danger is everywhere. The story isn't as great as I remember, but I am still loving all the NYC references of the day.
