But I picked up The Egypt Game to read on my own, also one of my favorites from childhood. That one and Cat in the Mirror. Did you ever read that one?

Most of my weekends include a trip to my local Half Price Books, where I pick up one or more books for myself and/or the kids, which I then bring home, shelve, and add to my TBR list, which is currently around 100 books long. But just having them in the house makes me happy. :) I could have written this post.

I'm too lazy to add another IRL book club. ;-) James is right--I'd forgotten about Elmer Gantry. Yes, a white-guy author, but also the only Minnesotan author to win the Nobel Prize. Nah.

Marlon James said we should read Sinclair Lewis' Elmer Gantry for Gods and Monsters.
