Other Fiction Lewis, Sinclair: Elmer Gantry. v1. 29 June 07

[Dr. Drib]

I decided to EXPERIMENT and used the BOOK TABLE for the chapter numbers. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE ON THE TABLE.

Elmer Gantry...well, well, well. If you want to know what a religious hypocrite looks like - in terms of human nature (or if you already know) - then Gantry will be a "familiar" figure to most of us.

Here's one quote:

"[A] satiric indictment of fundamentalist religion that caused an uproar upon its publication in 1927. The title character of Elmer Gantry starts out as a greedy, shallow, philandering Baptist minister, turns to evangelism, and eventually becomes the leader of a large Methodist congregation. Throughout the novel Gantry encounters fellow religious hypocrites, including Mrs. Evans Riddle, Judson Roberts, and Sharon Falconer, with whom he becomes romantically involved. Although he is often exposed as a fraud, Gantry is never fully discredited."

I hope you enjoy it.

I just found out that navigating through the chapters ONLY works if the toggle switch is moved UP or DOWN, even if the chapter is to the left or right.

That's right. The up/down on the jobstick moves you to the prev/next hyperlink on the page, regardless of where it is relative to the last one.

I've done a number of books where I've laid out the TOC in the form:

1 2 3 4 5

rather than:

1
2
3
4
5

and, as you say, it is naturally to try to use "cursor right" to go to the next link rather than "cursor down". You soon get used to it, though.
