oh oops, allow me to clarify, not player piano the reasonably good book by Kurt Vonnegut (I sort of forgot about that one when I posted)

I'm talking about this really dumb book they made us read about some poor family in Mississippi who owned a player paino, as a family heirloom and wouldn't sell it but liked to fight about selling it.

Its possible that it was called "the piano" but I'm pretty sure it was called "player piano"

I have nothing against the Vonnegut book, which I forgot holds a greater sway on the namespace everywhere but my high school.

oh yeah, and the scarlet letter, as well as everything else by hawthorn sucked. I don't like most fiction about puritans

Edit: My bad. I found it and I was totaly wrong about the name, its called "the piano lession" I was confused because the piano they have is a player piano. Its by August Wilson and some idiot gave it a pulitzer prize.
