"The sun sets in the west (just about everyone knows that), but Sunset Towers faced east."
Did anyone else read The Westing Game growing up? I read it about 1000 times, always wanting to be as smart as the girl in the book, and always knowing that I would never have won the Westing Game, that I would never have figured it out, and that I would never be as smart as the girl in the book.
As someone who basically has defined herself, her entire life, as being "the smart one," I found the book to be an eternally humbling experience. In fact, my current high levels of smugness may be directly attributable to not having read The Westing Game in at least twelve years.
