Yeah, I'm an Updike fan from way back. Have you read any of his novels? The Rabbit books are great (particularly the first two) but my personal favorite is The Centaur (http://decemberthirty.livejournal.com/34663.html), perhaps one of underrated books in American literature.

I did see that you made a nonfiction community, but since I can usually barely force my way through one nonfiction book a year, I wasn't sure it was the place for me. I'll check it out, but I doubt I'll have very much to contribute.
