Day 52

Tender is the Night (original version) - pages 277-321 (45 pages)

Goal - 7 books 104 pages
Total - 5 books 242 pages
Result - 1 book 122 pages to reach goal


Almost done! I should finish tomorrow if I read at least 37 pages as there's only about 30 left. And wow, the decline of the main characters, it's continuing! It's getting sad. It's funny, these characters are so rich and high-living and live much more worldly, flitting and open lives than probably most people, so the circumstances are less "realistic" than some books may be, but the slow decline of these people and their relationships, that's extremely realistic. It could, and does, happen to so many people. But you really feel it in this book, since at first you didn't get the indication that they would decline like this, it was sort of a slow surprise, somewhat like it is in real life. I'm loving that about this book. Well, off to see how it all ends...
