Back to the Shelf, You

I've been wading through this since late June, and am getting nowhere. Robert Penn Warren was the United States' first poet laureate and the writing in All the King's Men is poetic (though not enough to be bothersome) and pleasant enough to read, (there's also a movie due out in December with Sean Penn, Sir Anthony Hopkins and Kate Winslet -- mmm...Kate Winslet,) but I just can't get into it, so...

I will read this instead.
