Bread Givers

While reading this book I can't help notice I have nothing in common with the main character. I also find it hard to connect with the story as a whole. The writing is very good in this book but it is not something I would read on my own time. It is not a difficult read by any means but the topic and themes don't really interest me at all. After reading the entire novel my thoughts could change but it seems unlikely. Some of my groups disscussions included comparing this novel to The Great Gatsby.
