Sister Carrie

Sister Carrie
by Theodore Dreiser
read: circa 2001
Modern Library #33, Guardian 1000 Novels

Another book I read for that college English class and don't remember.  Professor Doody (really his name) said of Dreiser, "He was not a good writer.  I expect there are several of you, maybe even half of you, in this class who are better writers."  Then, almost as afterthought, "But Sister Carrie is a good book."
