Too short.

Life, that is.  Too short for me to slog through City Sister Silver.  I'm sure it is a very nice book.  It is a stream of consciousness about the Czech people during and after the downfall of the Soviet Union.  I found it violent and too stream of consciousness/post modern for me.  I just couldn't do it.

I am aware that this is a very well regarded book.  Just not all that well regarded by me.
