8 The White Company by Doyle
The other one's nagging me to death. Seems like it should be Cloud Street, but that doesn't ring a bell.
Yes, that's what I thought. Or Cloudy Road or something like that. But Amazon doesn't show any results ...Quote:

18. "Yoo hoo! Yoo hoo! You in the schooner..."
19. "Sir, I've got Oscar on line 2."

Nightshade - Good job on 2 and 17 (source of my signature quote. No non 16 and 18
djy78usa - 3 is correct, 11 and 10 incorrect, but Papayahead catches your rebound and scores. However, he's been penalized 15 yards for avatar abuse. My main man would never trade his classic curl for a red Mohawk, unless that little red-haired girl....
16: Heroes
11: Turn of the Screw
I meant 6. Tom Jones!
And 12. Oedipus Rex? (or a modern re-writing!)
Pendragon goes 0-2.
Bitterfly nails it.
Good to know I've challenged y'all.
18- is it captain courageous?
Sorry, but no. This schooner might not be seaworthy.Quote:

Nightshade, Are you thinking of "Three Men in a Boat"? Even so, alas no.
Pen, you're giving me way to much credit. 0-2 again. Keep batting like that and you'll have to change your name to The Cubs.
Your first hint, albeit obscure:
Nine works are American (including 18)
Six are from the UK
Three are Russian
One is French
And of course Eddie Rex is Greek
15. La Terre, by Zola?
14. The Constant Gardener?
God, they're hard! :p
Well, perhaps it is not my batting. Keep pitching like this and you may sit the bench next round! :lol::lol::lol:Quote:
