Status Updates From An American Tragedy

I like Dreiser's writing. Sometimes his run on descriptions are a little much and his Jersey accent seems a bit off but I love it so far.

Closing in on the end at last. I've learned a great deal from the experience and I look forward to sharing it with you.

Hegglund from Jersey City sure talks a lot like Jim from Huckleberry Finn! Not so sure that Dreiser has the best written interpretation of the jersey accent.

Hooboy here we go. A true literary dagwood! The longest effort undertaken in a while. As I loved "Sister Carrie" I'm assumning In will love this. The first eight pages were good :)

In my desperation to finish this brick, I'm using all the tricks and tips I can devise. I see the GR page count is 40 pages more than the actual text of the book, so I am adding 40 pages to my "Currently on" page count. A mind game, I know. But this book is endless. This guy's writing style is even wordier than Wilkie Collins, another writer who didn't know when to just end the damn sentence and move on.
