Spot the Truth

I dunno, you seem an artsy person. My guess is #2

Yes Pendragon, you are Right!
I love sketching and painting.

Books I do not own:

1) Pilgrim's Progress
2) Moby Dick
3) Huckleberry Finn
4) Le Morte de Aurthur
5) The Jungle Books

The Jungle Books?

4) Le Morte de Aurthur

#1 Pilgrim's Progress?

2) Moby Dick ...though it is highly unlikely that you don't have it.

You have it, Bein. I do have Sidney Lainer's King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table, though! (Sorry, I was on vacation last week.)

Since Bien has not been around for a while, I will jump start the game:

I have not read:

1. Jane Eyre

2. Moby Dick

3. Crime and Punishment

4. Middlesex

5. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

#3 is my choice

No, I have read Crime and Punishment.

I don't know why, but I can't see you as a Harry Potter fan, so number 5

Yeah, I am nothing but a pleb... Read the first Potter books and enjoyed them for what they are as well.

I say it's Moby Dick

I'll say Jane Eyre...

Yes, I have been trying to prepare myself psychologically to read this book for the past 30 years!

OK, at risk of looking like a big-head, here we go.

I have 32 different translations of the bible.

I am a past stock-car champion

I've been married three times.

I have passed 25 driving tests

I once had a moustache that you could see from behind.

number 5 (last statement) is true.

Curse you, Moriarty, you have found me out!

All right, confession time, too much wine, I got my wires crossed and posted 4 truths and a lie, not the other way around. I'd suggest ignoring all the afore-going, although plaudits to The Comedian!!

It was The Comedian's turn, anyway, to post a puzzle as he correctly guessed my "truth".

Okay spot the truth -- there are four statements below -- three are lies; one is true.

Theme: At the office

1. At work I sometimes wear headphones, but don't play any music or anything through them, just to keep people bothering me with their requests for "help".

2. I have a mini-model of the Millenium Falcon, clearly displayed, on my desk.

3. I keep a very messy office: papers scattered about, pens & pencils here and there. . .

4. I have a framed picture of Hilary Clinton just above my file drawers.

Oops - I do believe I have been admonished! Hangs head, scuffs toe of right shoe behind left heel on floor, squirms. :nono:

A simple misunderstanding! :thumbs_up

#2 be because that's the one I'd pick.

I'll go with three, because in #2 is true, it follows that it could hardly be "clearly displayed" on a messy desk...

Sleuthing that The Spirit would be proud of Pen -- you are correct!

Speaking of which...

1) I have the entire Doc Savage paperback collection in Bantam editions
2) I own the Spirit movie, and two volumes of the collected Spirit daily comic strips
3) I own the complete Solomon Kane collection
4) I have the whole Shadow collection, in original pulps
5. I cannot stand Star Trek the Next Generation, I'm a die hard Kirk, Spock, McCoy fan

4 are lies, only one is true

2 is the truth?

I'll take 5.

I'll go with #1...

#4 The whole collection?

A lie. The movie sucked, and the books are too expensive

A lie. I'm missing three double volumes by Bantam, but I have the novels in other reprint editions.

A lie. My whole collection is on PDF files and in paperback reprints.

So, I guess I win, as nobody picked #3, the one truth in the whole mess

Hummmm...

1) I read very little outside of American Lit
2) I never have read Lord Jim
3) I prefer Sci-Fi to mysteries
4) I read a lot of Ann Rand
5) I think that Don Quixote is too damn long to read

In the end there can be only one truth...

Hey, anyone gonna try and guess?

I pick 5.
