It gets even better. Around 4:15 CST, yesterday we had our 9 copies get
spoken for and then we watched our reserve list rise to 20 by 4:50. Can't
wait to see how many are on the list this morning when I log in.

We have 17 holds right now. Today's USA Today reports that Oprah is
currently reading Chinua Achebe's _Things Fall Apart_. It's not necessarily
her next choice, but you might steer waiting patrons that direction.

I'd like to think that it means that, Winona being a university town,
everyone in town likely to read Steinbeck already has done so and
probably already owns a copy. (I don't really believe that, but
that's what I'd *like* to believe...)

I have never been too "excited" by O's choices, but this time I approve. This has been one of my all time favorites ever since I read it when it was published. I recall sitting and discussing its several levels of meaning then. I do not need to check it out. I still have my original copy with notes in the margins! lmc
