Spot the Truth

Well, I flip a coin. 2 it is.

2 it is is right!

I) Washington D.C., United States of America (Most likely my favorite city in the World, but I had to pay to go there.)
II) Taipei, Taiwan (Yes! I won a contest in high school that granted me a semester at National Taiwan University.)
III) Sydney, Australia (Sydney is not the capital of Australia, Canberra is.)
IV) Budapest, Hungary (Another great capital! But I did not study here, instead, I taught.)
V) Lima, Peru (Traveled here for work and pleasure. A fairly dirty city in a beautiful country.)

Thanks for playing! Pendragon's up.

Hummmmm....

I hate to bore you with my book collection, but here we go:

All of these are legitimate titles of Sherlock Holmes books or collections except:

1) Gaslight Grimore
2) Gaslight Grotesque
3) Ghosts In Baker Street
4) The Ghost on the Moor
5) The Monster of Marleybone

Spot the truth about the fake book. Good luck:hurray::hurray:

Is anybody out there, or should I have Scotty just beam me up? :( :( :(

It's a trick question. Both four and five are illegitimate. Ghost on the Moor is fake, I believe. And The Monster of Marleybone is actually entitled The Monster of St.Marleybone. Case closed?

Five!

Actually, Number four was the fake one, but I did err in titling The Monster of St. Marleybone, which is by Wayne Worcester, and a darn good read, I highly recommend it. So for catching the correct one, and catching my mistake :( , you're up Matt!

Of these books, which have I read in entirety?

1. Ayn Rand Atlas Shrugged
2. Mark Twain The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
3. Stephen King Different Seasons
4. Plato The Republic
5. Kurt Vonnegut Slaughterhouse-Five

Five.

Number 1 seems right for an obvious intellectual

Nope. Nope.

Is it number two?

It is number two!

1. Ayn Rand Atlas Shrugged - On page 80 something... less than 8% done. I've got a lot of work ahead of me.
2. Mark Twain The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - READ
3. Stephen King Different Seasons - I'm reading Shawshank Redemption (a short story in this book) right now, but haven't finished quite yet.
4. Plato The Republic - Never read it.
5. Kurt Vonnegut Slaughterhouse-Five - I saw the movie recently and am waiting until I forget enough of it to read the book.

Batter up!
