Authors -- I think it's Elmore Leonard
I'll go for
ReplyDeleteClassics: The Sun Also Rises
and

but I'm not *sure* of either.

I thought this was a hard round; we're getting down to the last few cards I picked out from the first half of the cards from the game--and these are the ones on which I knew three out of six answers, so I doubt many of you would find the discards any easier! The clue for "The Sun Also Rises" struck me as particularly difficult, even if you know the book.
So well done if you got even one of these!
Harriet, yes, there was another question about Elmore Leonard quite recently. Not a writer I admire much, but good for this game, I guess. And as I said, I'm down to the last few cards from one of the packs and about to open another in a few more weeks.
huh! I thought you wrote the questioons!
