Parnassus on Wheels by Christopher Morley

4.0

This was a weird little book, and for much of it I couldn't decide how I felt about it at all, but in the end I enjoyed it. It's cute, insightful, and surprisingly feminist for having been written by a male author in the early 1900s. Speaking of which, I spent the first half of the book thinking this was a contemporary book, because I misread something about it, and that contributed to my confusion and hesitance to like it, because it struck me as pretentious to write in this somewhat old-fashioned way in 2011 or whatever. Once I realized my error, I felt better about the whole thing, and I'll definitely have to check out Haunted Bookshop soon! :)
