As usual, I could not read one of the two library books - Narcopolis is meant to be returned to the library without completing. I started off with it, but I just couldn't push myself to go on. It could not sustain my interest. I could be dead wrong and may be I should have started this book earlier, but it is okay. I am not really feeling terrible about it.
A Confederacy of Dunces - no doubt brilliantly funny, I found it a tad too long. I know people will be horrified when they hear this, but it is long. And, yes, preconceived notions about the book (too much hype around it) usually ruins the joy. And, I kept expecting to be dazzled from page one. It did not happen and I guess its more my fault than the book's.
