The man can do no wrong

Current book: Babbitt
Pages read: 1-169

I love Sinclair Lewis. I am literally incapable of explaining why I find his writing so incredibly compelling, but I do. I think Babbitt is even better than Main Street, and the character work he's doing is some of the most extraordinary I've read.

After this glowing introduction, I'm going to crush all of your hopes and dreams by telling you that I'm not actually going to write a full post about this today. I read a lot, and I need some time to think over what I want to say about it. I'm also tired, and don't have the energy to give Lewis the examination he really deserves. (Not to mention to give my loyal readers the witty and brilliant commentary they deserve. I mean, only one parenthetical? How tragic.)

So, perceptive and profound literary analysis will be yours tomorrow. In the meantime, you may use this opportunity to go check out a copy of Babbitt and read it for yourself before I spoil it for you.
