Wow, I only know two this week:
ReplyDeleteClassics: The Age of Innocence (which I still can't think about without hearing the goofy action-movie voiceover they used in the add campaign for the movie)
Non-fiction: Lance Armstrong
and I sort of know Book Club: it's the sequel to the Garcia Girls, but I don't know the title.
I should know Authors -- I know the book title. It's been on my list for obvious reasons, but I can't remember who wrote it.
Not doing so well this week. I only know Edith Wharton, it's The Age of Innocence, which IMHO is not her greatest work -- I think House of Mirth is far superior, and I LOVE Ethan Frome. But that is just me.
ReplyDeleteI thought the Alvarez was How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents, but now I'm not sure. Sigh. I actually own Trivial Pursuit for Book Lovers but now I remember why I never play, it's really hard!
Classics- The Age of Innocence
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
