This book doesn't seem like one of the books that i would normally read. i generally like fantasy novels, but i wouldn't mind reading this one, it seems pretty cool.


The Great American Augie
Saul Bellow (10 June 1915 – 5 April 2005) was a Canadian-born American writer.

"Columbus too thought he was a flop, probably, when they sent him back in chains. which did not prove there was no america."

The story describes Augie March from childhood to a fairly stable maturity. Augie, with his brother Simon and the mentally abnormal George have no father and are brought up by their mother who is losing her eyesight. Augie drifts from one situation to another in a free-wheeling manner—jobs, women, homes, education and lifestyle.

This book is in no way something that i would be interested in. It seems a little too deep for my taste, i prefer the lighter book.
