Name That Book!

[Pendragon]

This is a puzzle game, dealing only with book titles. The clues should be short, a sentence or two at most. The book should be well known, a best seller, a classic, required reading or something like that, not an obscure volume found lying around. I have shelves full of books that would only have meaning to another collector like myself. Ready now? Let’s go!

Here are four easy ones to start us out:

1.) An angel with a flaming sword points towards the rising sun—

2.) ABCDFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ—

3.) A watch hung from the Eiffel Tower indicates the hour of death

4.) The green eye from a martini arrives at the trauma unit beside a bent lemon slice from another drink—

Have fun! :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod:

[Anon22]

2.) ABCDFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ—



I know this one :) considering the fact that I had to read it for the summer for English class. It's Ella Minnow Pea, right?

An aging portrait


this one should be easy.

[Nightshade]

The portrait of Dorian Gray
right??
ok
"The robin who showed the way."

[Pendragon]

I know this one :) considering the fact that I had to read it for the summer for English class. It's Ella Minnow Pea, right?

No. Much simpler than that. And a classic. Probably read by more girls than boys.

Well, I THOUGHT I was being simple with my first ones here..... :brow:

I'll give you #3, since it WAS a bestseller, but everyone isn't into James Bond.
A watch hung from the Eiffel Tower indicates the hour of death = High Time To Kill by Ramon Benson.

Now some hints:

On #1.
Where was an angel with a flaming sword posted?
Which direction is the rising sun?
Put them together, not necessarily in that order.

On #2
Which letter can you not see?
Why?

On #4
There are three parts:
What is a green eye from a martini?
What's an abbreveation for a more comman name for "Trauma Unit"?
Add those two.
What do they call the bent piece of lemon in a mixed drink?
Put it all together.

This is a literature forum mes amis!? These are famous books! One of you even uses a sign-on name from one of them! Is frustrating! http://www.websmileys.com/sm/mad/boese028.gif

Things women fear

*Indignant* Are you implying that women fear mice?

I'm sure some do, but.....sheesh....it's an exaggerated stereotype.

[Pendragon]

*Indignant* Are you implying that women fear mice?

I'm sure some do, but.....sheesh....it's an exaggerated stereotype.My appologies m'dear. I saw your picture in the PhotoAlbum and you do not look like one to be afraid of mice. I've already been told about my blatent generalist statement. But it was all I could think of at the moment and some DID get the answer!

C'est la vie! http://www.websmileys.com/sm/dressed/bek073.gif

http://www.websmileys.com/sm/dressed/bek010.gif

I would gladly contribute a book title or two, but unfortunately 1) I do not have ze time and 2) I highly doubt that I have read any of those of whose names you were so kind as to translate into riddles. I know this is a literature forum, but I concentrate on classical literature only. And within that....mainly romanticism.

Limited? Maybe.
But until later...
Ou revoir.

A man (or woman for that matter) might merely play.

Wearing an inky French cloak of misconception as I am, it is hardly surprising that I "seem" to understand French...however, monsieur, I assure you that I was - merely - using Google translator. :D

Frankly, I have studied Italian, but not French.

OK.

Basil actually got #3. I missed his post, but have corrected it. The poem is often published as a children's book; is often required reading; but we are a multicultural group, which could lead to it being obscure. I was chatting with Nightshade the other day, and a baseball routine by Abbott and Costello that is very famous was unknown to her. #3 was Casey At the Bat by Ernest Lawrence Thayer Mudvillie hero a zero refers to the last line of the poem "But there is no joy in Mudville, mighty Casey has struck out!"

Now some more clues for the others:

#1.) Picture a sign on a wall as you enter and remember that the word "jetison" means "abandon" now Insert title of book:

#4) The phone rings, right? The question then is the party wanted there? In other words: Insert title of book:

#11) If you forget all the frills of camping you won't be taking it easy you'll be
Insert name of book:

I have another baker's dozen ready my friends....http://www.websmileys.com/sm/crazy/006.gif

[papayahed]

I'm going to give you #3. It is often required reading, but we are a multicultural group, which could lead to it being obscure. I was chatting with Nightshade the other day, and a baseball routine by Abbott and Costello that is very famous was unknown to her. So #3 is Casey At the Bat by Ernest Lawrence Thayer "There is no joy in Mudville, mighty Casey has struck out!"

"Who's on first?" - I love that bit. My perspective maybe slightly schewed, I grew up watching Abbot and Costello every sunday morning.

Anyways, I was gonna guess Casey's at Bat, but couldn't figure out where the zero part came in - I've never actually read it....

[NNoah3]

OK.

I'll do some editing....and I sincerly appolgize to Basil the puzzle solver!

Garrison Keillor's NPR show, A Prairie Home Companion is sometimes good, sometimes not so good, but his sections on Lake Woebegone stink.

A gentle reminder--only three left from the current list:



#3 A unevenness in entropy = A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'engle

#6 The dog was on fire in the nighttime = The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

#12 The little tot slept =Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson



FINITO! :nod:

[RobinHood3000]

I can't help but think that number 3 involves the word "Chaos," but I can't think of any book that might relate to it. Am I too far off target?

[Pendragon]

Well, the word "Chaos" is not in the title. Since we're down to the final three, this is usually where I give hints. So:

#3. A uneveness in entropy -- Think of entropy as a sheet on a bed. You smooth out uneveness which are called what? Then what is entropy?

#6 The dog was on fire in the nightime -- Who was it that drew attention to the strange occurence of the dog in the nighttime? He encounter a fiery dog?

#12 The little tot slept-- What if, instead of be my usual cryptic self, I could be cryptic by simply telling the truth, but phrasing it another way? ;) :D :lol: :goof:

[RobinHood3000]

3. A Wrinkle in Time!!! by Madeleine L'engle!

[NNoah3]

#6 - The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle

[Pendragon]

3. A Wrinkle in Time!!! by Madeleine L'engle!
And the bullseye for the Archer!

An unevenness = A Wrinkle
In Entropy = In Time
Ergo = A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'engle! You needed my Star Trek collection. Vollume II is a novel called The Entropy Effect by Vonda N. McIntyre in which Spock desperately trys to correct a time-travel glitch. Hee-hee. That's why I don't use my own bookshelves to make up these lists. My shelves are far too specialized.

But your nanners: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

And I cannot believe no one has got #12. I said I was hiding in plain sight! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[RobinHood3000]

By the way, you ought to know that "entropy" is a completey different concept from "time." In case you were wondering about why it took a hint :p .

Nanners: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

I give you kudus, NNoah3, you bloody well solved th' mystery!

No one has ANY clue on #12? Plain English folks, phrased diffrently, means the same yet something else tae.

[RobinHood3000]

Hmm...just a stab in the dark, but I'm guessing that "The Rugrat Snoozes" isn't the right answer...

EDIT: EUREKA!! I'VE GOT IT!! "KIDNAPPED"!!

[Pendragon]

Hmm...just a stab in the dark, but I'm guessing that "The Rugrat Snoozes" isn't the right answer...

EDIT: EUREKA!! I'VE GOT IT!! "KIDNAPPED"!!And the Archer shoots the lights out, although I hope he isn't running naked up the street shouting "Eureka!!" Kind of dastarly of me to hide in plain sight like that, no?

The little tot = Kid
Slept = Napped
Ergo = Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson!

Tell me, was it my use of "tae" for "two" that tipped you off finally?

For finally ending the set, the dancin' dudes!

[Pendragon]

By the way, you ought to know that "entropy" is a completey different concept from "time." In case you were wondering about why it took a hint :p .Indeed, as Spock might say. My bad it seems. It's only connection to time is the effect it would have if time somehow got out of balance, thus the title of the book I mentioned. Sorry. I shall be more careful in the future. http://www.websmileys.com/sm/aliens/abduct.gif

Perhaps if I repost it...No need for a double post. I always go back an recheck to be sure I didn't miss anyone since I overlooked Basil one time! :blush: I also have to update the list as people figure out the clues, but you're still shooting very well since your unfortunate transformation into a "rubber ducky"?!http://www.smileyville.net/mellow/mf_crackegg.gif

To paraphrase a certain former-amphibian...

"She turned me into a rubber ducky!!

...I got better."

"If a man don't go his own way, he's nothing."

Hint: the quote is from a novel about military life written by an American author.

Hint-hint: Set in Hawaii in 1941.

[B-Mental]

I'm thinking from here to eternity with hints like that, James Jones. I liked the Thin Red Line better. Am I write?

[starrwriter]

I'm thinking from here to eternity with hints like that, James Jones. I liked the Thin Red Line better. Am I write?
No, but you're correct. Never read the Thin Red Line. Wasn't it about the battle of Guadalcanal?

[B-Mental]

I can't remember the island, but that sounds right. Jones wrote similar to Mailer (one of my favorites) only just a touch more vivid. OK, I'll try Herman Wouk, Winds of War? Reading A Big Hole in Texas at the moment.

[RobinHood3000]

Number 7 isn't "Cry Wolf," is it?

[Pendragon]

Number 7 isn't "Cry Wolf," is it?No, and I think a word of explaination is due here. When I use the term "Sounds Like" think of the game "Charades" or any other game of that type. In other words, the "Sounds Like" has nothing to do with the answer except that the answer sounds like the clue given. So on #7 the answer "Sounds like" you might be a large member of the canine family. Therefore figure out what THAT means, say it out loud, and the answer "sounds like" what you will say. I hope that helps. I didn't mean to be so unclear. Night figured out what it meant, but misunderstood me when I said, it "sounds like" that. :goof: http://www.smileyville.net/hamster/paperbag3.gif

FINAL THREE MAJOR HINT TIME!

#4 Counterclockwise-- OK what is another word for this in, say, Old English?

#7 Sounds like you might be a large member of the canine family.
OK. We've established that is a wolf.
Now I said "Sounds Like" has nothing to do with the clue, it means the clue "sounds similiar to" you might be a wolf. Say that aloud and see if the title of an old epic poem, legend, whatever, book length, doesn't come out of it. Remember, SAY IT ALOUD! = Beowulf listed as anonyamous

#13 What are the Orcs called when first mentioned in the Hobbit? And what is a costermonger? Where would you find one? Put it all together. That is, what an orc was originally called and where would you find a costermonger?

And MAY THE SOURCE BE WITH YOU.....http://www.smileyville.net/aiwan/pardon.gif

Orc Costermongers - it probably isn't right, , but Goblin Reservation by Simak?Ah, no. Goblin yes, Reservation no.

[Pendragon]

OK In the interests of moving this thread along a little, let me state that #13 has been correctly answered by RovinHood3000 in a PM.

The Orcs = Goblin
Turn Costermonger = a person who sells fruit or vegetables from a cart at a market

Ergo: =The Goblin Market by Christina Rossitti.

I felt sure someone would get #4 , but they haven't, so I'll give it to you.

#1 What a pot addict smokes-- well, they smoke marijuana, of course, commonly called "weed" or another name used in its heyday which was "_____"
The usuall part of the plant smoked is the "_____" Put the two together and you get a book length poem by a certain poet whose initals are W. W.

#3 Getting the heck out of Paradise. If you are "getting the heck" out of somewhere, say for an evacuation you are in "_____" from the place. Eden is correct. Now fill in the blank.

#1 What a pot addict smokes
They smoke pot = "Grass" (Old hippie talk)
They smoke the "Leaves" of the plant dried ( although seeds and flower buds as well)

Ergo: Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman, surely one of the world's most tedious tomes!

#3 Getting the heck out of Paradise
You get the heck out you "flee"
Paradise = "Eden"

Hope you don't mind, but I thought I'd write my own little list, dedicated to my favorite author...Michael Crichton!!


Robin's very own BAKER'S DOZEN

1. Fava beans and Chianti, anyone?

2. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle gets eaten

3. (4/3)πr², 4πr^3

4. Planet of the Sign-Language Speakers??

5. A gender-switching revelation

6. The galactic daughter of the Queen pulls a muscle

7. A 1903 early silent film

8. Dawn

9. Sounds like (see, Pen? Puns!) a penitent's penance

10. A 747 skeleton

11. The Dude at Grand Central

12. The 4th Dimension goes medieval

13. Solid, Liquid, Gas, Plasma, TerrorSo my own game thrown back at me. Um, let's see here. Hummm.

#1 Eaters of the Dead
#2 The Lost World (I have Doyle's book there!)
#3 Sphere (That is the mathmatical formula, isn't it?)
#5 Disclosure?
#6 The Andromeda Strain
#8 Rising Sun
#9 Prey
#10 Airframe
#11 The Terminal Man
#12 Timeline?
#13 Twister?

I don't think I got them all, many I've only seen the movie. I read Michael Crichton at times, so I keep a list of his books to make certain I don't read the same one twice. But you're tricky, Archer! Very tricky!http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/spezial/spudniks/spudnikshooter.gif

[papayahed]

I'm gonna say #7 is The Great Train Robbery. Only because that's the only other Chricton book I can think off. or Congo.

[RobinHood3000]

Whoa. Ten out of 11 for Pen, and one for papayahed!

Communal nanners!!

So, what's left? ANSWER: Not much.



4. Planet of the Sign-Language Speakers??
13. Solid, Liquid, Gas, Plasma, Terror

[Pendragon]

I told you you were tricky, Archer!


4. Planet of the Sign-Language Speakers??
13. Solid, Liquid, Gas, Plasma, Terror

#4 Westworld--I have the video right on my shelf even! (West--Indians--signlanguage)

#13 State of Fear (Solid, liguid, gas, plasma are states of matter, terror is fear)

I think I got it!! :nod: :nod: :nod: :nod: http://www.smileyville.net/aiwan/yahoo.gif

[Pendragon]

Oh, well......... :brow:

[RobinHood3000]

Yes to number 13, no to number 4 (sorry). Still...

:banana::banana::banana:

[papayahed]

Yes to number 13, no to number 4 (sorry). Still...

:banana::banana::banana:

Looker? :confused: :confused:

[Pendragon]

7. Set free

8. Under the peaks of insanity

10. BANG! I’m mad!

13. The odds are good that she isn’t Jimmy



Since this one WAS hard, I pulled every trick I could think of, and you still got all but four: It's hint time!

#7 Think "Dueling Banjos" The movie of the book starred Burt Renyolds

#8 The book is by H. P. Lovecraft

#10. You have a noise and an emotion or _______ & _________

#13 Jimmy was a famous odds maker whose nationality was well known. The lady in question is of the same nationality.

Maybe this will help.

Oh, and Robin if Papayahed is wrong, my guess is ELECTRONIC LIFE

[RobinHood3000]

7. Deliverance
10. The Sound and the Fury

And nope, sorry to both papayahed and Pendragon. Think of a movie that resembles the clue.

[Eva Marina]

4. Planet of the Sign-Language Speakers??

Planet of the Apes

[RobinHood3000]

You're on the right track, but I'm looking for a Michael Crichton novel.

[papayahed]

13. Zorba the Greek.

[RobinHood3000]

~whistles innocently~

What's that dance that people do, where they all get in a line and go around the room?

[Eva Marina]

Oooh! *gasps* Congo

[RobinHood3000]

Exactamundo!!

:banana::banana::banana:

[papayahed]

and # 8. Under the mountains of madness

[Pendragon]

7. Deliverance
10. The Sound and the Fury

And nope, sorry to both papayahed and Pendragon. Think of a movie that resembles the clue.

DOUBLE-SHOT! I thought of using "dueling banjos" as the clue for #7, but wasn't sure that everyone would know about that! http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/spezial/Fool/bis.gif
Nanners: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

[Pendragon]

13. Zorba the Greek and # 8. Under the mountains of madnessDOUBLE-SHOT! Quite right. Old odds maker Jimmy the Greek. Actually that's "At the Mountains of Madness" but I'm not gonna be picky! http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/spezial/Fool/bud.gif
