Time is running out to save Robert Langdon!

That’s right. You can haul Langdon’s potato out of the many fires Dan Brown tosses him in his new instant blockbuster, "The Lost Symbol," just by flaunting your knowledge of Pittsburgh literary history on PG+, the newspaper’s new subscription-only Web site for only $3.99 a month, $2.99 for newspaper home subscribers. It’s a lot cheaper than the $29.95 book.

Check out my site for the BookClub+ contest. The winner gets "The Lost Symbol" and runners-up win either "The Hemingses of Monticello" or "Home." The contest will be closing later today. Don’t miss your chance to exhibit your knowledge of Pittsburgh literati and get the hottest-selling novel for free.
