#100 - The Way of All Flesh by Samuel Butler

It's an interesting book; it's narrated by a family friend, and we're never truly in an active story. So far the entire plot is propelled by the description of various characters' personas, with the occasional event described to us so as to posit the claims set forth by the narrator about the characters' personas. Sound boring? Surprisingly it's not. Butler's providing a plethora of insights into human character that I sympathize with (some call me a pessimist, but I prefer realist). He has a thing for irony as well, which comes in handy for a chuckle here and there. We'll see where it goes.
