Re: currently reading?
Holy shit!

Someone used denouement in a sentence.

I've been beating my students over the head (not literally) about writing book reports - using words like protagonist, antagonist, denouement.

They look at me like I'm a mad person. But then - they're 11 - so I can but hope they slowly learn to appreciate novel structure - and appreciate how hard it can be to write and to write well.
