    Well, I flip a coin. 2 it is.
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    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

    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?

    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!

    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!
