Children's: The Dark is Rising
Classics: Jean d'Arc
Children's: The Dark is Rising. One of my all-time favorites (but the second book is the best). I've been trying to get AJ interested, but so far, no luck.
Classics: Joan of Arc
Non-Fiction: I've never heard of this one, but I'm intrigued.
Book Club: Burroughs
Authors: George Plimpton
Book Bag: No idea. The best I can do is, "Not Jaws."
Oh, oh oh! I actually know some this time! (But they've been answered already.)
I loved the Dark is Rising series.
(And I cheated and looked up the book bag one. All I can say is that I hope to find it one day(book, not thing itself)in a rented house.)
Now I've cheated and look up the non-fiction one, too, which looks good. Hmmm.
I'm cataloging a set of danish, or possibly icelandic,laws today. They're in danish. In fraktur. Personally, I think being in danish is bad enough. Okay. Bye now.
I feel like I should know more of these! Children's: The Dark Is Rising; Classics: Joan of Arc; Book Club: William Burroughs? And that's all I got.
These were easier than they usually are (not that I know all of them). These questions always make me feel like I am far less well read than I thought--and I am more than cognizant of all the holes in my reading.
Dark is Rising series gets confusing as it goes along... I reread them this summer, wondering why I never finished the series as a kid, and discovered why.
This was fun :-)Is this from the Trivial Pursuit for Book Lovers game?
As usual, everyone who tried one got it right!
Children's: The Dark is Rising
Classics: Joan of Arc
Non-Fiction: Adam Clayton Powell
Book Club: William Burroughs
Authors: George Plimpton
Book Bag: Beast
Readersguide, I would hope you won't find the thing itself in the rented house! Maybe the book would be good in another language.
Lemming, The Dark is Rising series isn't connected as much as some people expect. Green Witch stands almost by itself.
Marie, Yes, Karen sent it to me because the questions are so hard you need a hard-core literary group to play it!
