What I'm Reading Now -- Ella Minnow Pea

Because I need another book to read (how many am I up to now?), I've started a new one.  I believe this is K's book, and she sent it to E, who also read it.  E sent it to me a while back, and I'm getting started on it.

Believe it or not, this is not one of our postal book club books, although it sounds like it should be!

The premise: Ella lives in a small community which reveres the guy who came up with that famous alphabetic sentence: "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."  As the letters start to fall off a memorial to him, the elders forbid the use of those letters by the citizens.

I imagine it'll be an interesting read the further along I get.
