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.

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?

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.

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

6. Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen?
