I read "The Magnificent Ambersons" and "Alice Adams" about 2 years ago when I was reading a few early Pulitzer Prize winners. "The Magnificent Ambersons" was the second book to win that prize and "Alice Adams", which I liked even better, was the 4th. Tarkington was quite a writer. These are books that'll stay with me. They may be a bit dated in terms of the issues they directly deal with but they're both about how changing times change people and that's probably a bigger issue today than it ever was.
