Just a list update

3) On the Road
11) The Beach
1) Innocence Abroad (Is that even a book, it sounds like one..)

I think there's a book called "The Pilgrim's Path" (or something to that effect) in Morrowind (a video game, for non-geeks) that could Number 3, but then, that's in Morrowind...

I'm sorely tempted to give it to you, but it's a very old classic, not from a video game. AUUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!! I hate to NOT let you have it, but the book is probably in the top five of books constantly in print including the Bible. You are soooooooooooo close! http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/sa...smiley-043.gifhttp://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/sa...smiley-043.gifhttp://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/sa...smiley-043.gifhttp://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/tr...smiley-019.gifhttp://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/tr...smiley-019.gifhttp://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/tr...smiley-019.gif

Well, I'm not inclined to Google it, so I guess I'll leave it to someone else.

I feel dumb...

3) Pilgrims progress?

6) Jude the obscure

SCORE! Double-Headerer! Nanners: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:


#3 The Zealot's Journal of His Journey = Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan, finished in the 1650's and constantly in print since. See why I hated NOT to give it to you, Robin? If the book hadn't been so old or well-known, I would have given it to you, you were so close.

#6 Fog enshrouds the next to last book of the Bible = Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy

No, m'dear, I wasn't feeling sorry for you, my clues were a little hazy. Oh, and someone else already got #6 by PM but refused the credit..... :brow:

No. I wish I could remember what that book was. It's in my reference book in the hallway, but I'm lazy this morning. No, this book is famous in Britian, but I'm using a outrageous pun! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Agua = Water
Cruiseliner =Ship
Sinks = Down

Ergo: Watership Down by Richard Adams :lol: :lol: :lol:

Haha, sorry Night. But I have to earn my title, after all. Besides, you're a familiar face around here--I'm sure everyone knows by now that you're brilliant.

oh wow Im brilliant :D :banana:

Haha, that would certainly be nice. Then I'd have something directed to put into my signature ;) . I'm sure that if anyone can find one, it's you.

You know, of course, that you score again! Bullseye! The Archer is certainly blasting this list!http://www.websmileys.com/sm/violent/sterb043.gif That one is from
http://www.websmileys.com/

To snatch = Catch
One less than the most quoted Psalm = That would be Psalm 23
Ergo = Catch-22 by Joseph Heller

Nanners: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:
Good show for the man in Lincoln Green! :D :lol:

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:

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?

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:

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

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

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:

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 .

WINNER! Hoo-hoo!http://www.websmileys.com/sm/music/musik05.gif

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.

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"!!
