I don't think any of us are actively reading a Top 100 Book right now, so either skip today or share about one you have read in full or even just in part.
The most recent Top 100 Book I've read, and finished, was Where Angels Fear to Tread, by E. M. Forster. It was quite a quick read and the fast-pace begins the moment you start the book. It jumps right into the story line and moves quickly from there to the end.
It's about an English woman whose husband dies and so she travels with a friend to Italy to get away. Her husband's family is very snooty, and I came under the impression that she needed a break. While she's there she meets and Italian man, who is not very high in society, and decides to marry him. They talk about loving each other, that that's why they marry, but I think each of them have different reasons than that.
If you want to knock a Top 100 Book of the list, this is certainly a quick read. But be careful not to read too fast or you might miss some of the deeper stuff that is definitely present, though not visible to the skimming eye.
I have this book waiting for me at the library. I'll pick it up over the weekend.
