To keep this great discussion going:

Question: Who did you, upon reading the prologue, think murdered August? And what did you think of August, anyway? What about Uncle Al?("Uncle Al craves freaks.") Do his maneuvers and practices regarding the defunct Fox Brothers circus reflect traditional American business practices?

Question: The title - Water for Elephants - what does that mean to you? In defense of the nursing home patient who claimed he carried water for elephants, one of the nurses told Jacob the elder "he's not lying, he really believes that he carried water for elephants."
