PS: While I'm being ignorant, what is The Colour Purple about? Actually no, I should probably just find it and read it instead, without spoilers. It was on some of my high school summer reading lists, but I always went for Douglas Adams and PG Wodehouse instead. I had that one vaguely categorised under Books American Kids Read, with stuff like Old Yeller and The Giver. I guess I should remedy that, too.
