Main Street

I haven't given up reading this book. I am just struggling with finding time to read it! This morning I decided I would commit my lunch break to reading the Top 100 instead of watching Martha Stewart.

Part of the challenge for me is I am not a lover of the main character, Carol. I think she represents the worst of college educated people who come to small towns and then peer down their noses at the society they are trying to integrate into. She reminds me of the "flatlanders" that come to Vermont and want to change what is here to their liking rather than embrace the positive qualities that already exist.

I read the introduction on the copy of the book that I have so it helped me to understand Sinclair Lewis and his message of the time. I'll finish the book soon. Maybe I will get a better sense of its message as I read further on.
