I can't say I've played Monopoly for years - it always seemed to end with either me or my sister throwing the board up in the air in temper - but this book version, Bookopoly, might tempt me to have another go.
Instead of the usual properties, you buy, sell, and trade classic works of literature. Interesting facts about the books and authors are printed on the back of each property deed. Roll the dice and advance to Read. Collect bookstores and trade them for libraries. Pick a card to find out if you're elected president of the book club-or if you lose three turns and must watch TV.
