And on a smaller, local scale, I notice that several local schools have assigned THE MALTESE FALCON as a high school summer read this year.
That's sorta cool.
Mind you, in tracking down the book for customers at the store (it's on a big table with all the usual suspects: Twain, Dickens, Austen, Animal Farm, etc.), it's disconcerting to see the reaction of both the kids and sometimes their parents when my enthusiasm bubbles over.
