I just found, at my neighborhood used book store, a 1966 Modern Library edition of
Goodbye, Columbus, with a near perfect dustjacket. This puts me in the mood to pursue the goal of reading all the winners of the
National Book Award. It got pushed to the back burner while I finished the Modern Library's
Top 100 list. But now that I am almost done with that goal, I am looking forward to a new list. I am a big
Philip Roth fan, so Goodbye Columbus will be the first one I read.
