A Sentimental Education – Gustave Flaubert

This one was saved by my 100 page rule. I generally try to get through 100 pages before deciding to give up on a book and I was ready to throw this book across the room but just at the 100 page mark it started getting better. The main character just annoyed me with his attitude and inability to do anything – but then I realized how true to real life so much of the book was and it got more interesting.
