Goes like this: RING!=A Bell Tolls
"Hello? I'll see if he's available. Please hold."= For Whom?

4.) Wisteria, Lilac, Violets, Grapes, Eggplant. Together they have it; individually they have it.= The Colour Purple by Alice Walker

8.) The person holding up the Earth is unimpressed =Atlas Shrugged by Ann Rand

9.) What trees, plants, and people have in common = Roots by Alex Haley

12.) Really finding Nemo - Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne

2.) The head of the alphabet is embarrassed - Ashamed? This one is wrong. Sorry. Still you did wonderfully! :wave: :wave:

#10 a WINNER! Nanners: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Small = Lilliput
Big = Brobdingnag
Stupid = Laputa
Bestial = Land of the Houyhnhnms

Ergo: Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift

#7 is wrong. Think modern and National Public Radio.

MAJOR hints on the final three----

#3 A feline is a cat, folks. What killed the cat? Wasn't there a shop for that?

#5 Green Hell is what explorers call the Matta Grasso, the most dangerous part of the Amazon Rainforest. You go in, but you likely don't come out. What is another word for Rainforest?

#7 The author has a Sunday comedy variey show on National Public Radio, in which he never fails to mention this place in Minnesota.

The next Baker's Dozen awaits, and the next, and the next.....http://www.smileyville.net/mellow/mf_sherlock.gif
