Well, I haven't given up, I think I can do it by augmenting my usual reads with some short but good books. I know their out there and though the Brown Eyed Girl's Book Club doesn't seek out books of any particular length ( though some members have thumbs down books for being a little too long, or have requested we give ourselves more time to read before we meet again) we have read books we have enjoyed that have been around 200 pages or less.
Memories of my Melancholy Whores
by Gabriel Garcia Marquez was a favorite read of mine and provided a good discussion as I remember. We read several of Alexander McCall Smith's books - Tears of the Giraffe
, and The Kalahari Typing School for Men
, both enjoyable and also what I would consider a fast read. Having read Rudolfo Anaya's Bless Me, Ultima 
in college as did most of my friends, we were happy to read his Serafina's Stories
which entertained us with a number of cuentos/ stories told by the hero of the story Serifina, a Pueblo Indian in 1680 who by entertaining the Govenor with the stories wins the freedom of a dozen Indian prisoners.So to better my chances of reading 100 books I will include the following books (that I think won't dissapoint) on my to do list:
Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote, Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress
by Sijie Dai, Shop Girl by Steve Martin, Ethan Frome 
by Edith Wharton, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time 
by Mark Haddon, and Push 
by Sapphire.If anyone can suggest any other fast but very good reads it would be appreciated!
