Prove log of eigenvalues are dense in R?

Suppose you have the set of all possible $n$ x $n$ square adjacency matrices where $n$={1,2,3,4...}. For each matrix, compute the logarithm of the largest eigenvalue. Is it true that the set of logarithms you obtain is dense in $\mathbb{R}$? How do you begin to prove/disprove this?
