I had a copy checked out from the library (very clearly marked “Mayfair Branch, Chicago Public Library”) that I’ve left somewhere, neither at home nor the office. I only have 6 weeks left to find it and return it or pay a hefty replacement fine. Even worse, it’s probably the best novel I’ve read since – well, possibly since ever – and I’d like to finish it if possible. Holla back!
UPDATE: You can stop searching your house for it. I found it in a box of pamphlets in the office. (Stupid Old Irving Park Assn!)
