The Power and the Glory is terrific. Enjoy!

I'm not sure it's where I'd start with Greene, though. Personally, I'd recommend The Heart of the Matter or The Power and the Glory first.

That header photo just makes me miss Galavant.

Counterpoint: "Store" is a hell of a lot of fun.

Dang, you got to posting that lyric before I could.

Where's "Where's Firefly?"
