I have been wondering whether there should be a rule in this game, stating that books I have not heard of should not be asked!

Well, it WAS a bestseller, although I think I tossed my copy for being boring. Garrison Keillor's NPR show, A Prairie Home Companion is sometimes good, sometimes not so good, but his sections on Lake Woebegone stink. He has also written The Book of Guys, another bestseller, which I also tossed after finding it in a used book store, signed. Sorry, Scher!Quote:

This probably isn't right but is 6) The Mists of Avalon ?
You score! WINNER! But you share with Robin, who also had the correct answer (perhaps a simultaneous post?) Nanners: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:Quote:

Sadly, your other guess is miles off. I don't think Avalon is in the Bible. :) :angel:

You surprise me, Scher. I wasn't expecting anyone to get The Quiet American
Ugly Weed, eh. Not this one from this old rhyme I trust, but it may give you a chuckle: :p :p
Tobacco is a dirty weed. I like it.
It satisfies no normal need. I like it
It makes you thin, it makes you lean,
It takes the hair right off your bean.
It's the worst darn stuff I've ever seen.
I like it.
- Graham Lee, Hemminger, (1896-1949)
Right on the bean, m'lady! Nanners: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:Quote:
