It's such a high-concept and famous book that I wonder how many people really remember the story. I don't, beyond the barest of outlines. I even wonder how many think they've read it or claim to have read it when they really haven't. Or maybe just saw the movie. All of which is entirely understandable!

I'm curious to see how well it holds up, among other considerations. It goes without saying that it's a book that should be read, even if it proves to be a chestnut (and I doubt it will).
