Topic: What Book Am I?

Posted by: kaddarsgirl

Subject: What Book Am I?
Date: Sep 02 12

This works like the movie and people threads. You ask yes/no questions, and the person who correctly guesses the book gets to pick the next one.

Books can be either fiction or non-fiction, must be classified as a novel or novella. This means no plays, poems, or short stories.

I will begin with:

What book am I?

The old reply to thread function was removed because it got to the point where people weren't even reading the announcements and assuming, by default, that they were somehow being wronged or forgotten or insulted or abused or cheated out of something in some manner.

Is it "The Hamlet"?

adams627 No, but you've got the right play.

Is the author better known for novels of a different genre?

Reply #1523. Jan 24 13, 1:21 PM

adams627 No, but he only wrote two other novels (one of which was published posthumously).

Hint: Tennis.

Infinite Jest?

Reply #1525. Jan 24 13, 11:02 PM

adams627 That is it. If you read the Wikipedia plot summary, you'll probably agree with me that the book is "insane" :)

Thanks, adam627. I did read the plot and I agree.

Next up is a very readable work of non-fiction.

A wild stab: "Seabiscuit"?

Does it have to do with war?

Reply #1528. Jan 25 13, 1:48 PM

It's not Seabiscuit.

Mot about war. There is a disaster.

Mot is not a clue - it's a typo.

Is this a story based on an incident during a war, or a story of a war?

Reply #1531. Jan 25 13, 10:29 PM

tobyone


No, not about war or an incident of war.

It's set at the end of the last century.

"Alive"?

Reply #1533. Jan 26 13, 12:26 PM

tobyone


A much gentler subject than "Alive".

The author is well known for his first novel (fiction), later adapted for film.

isn't everything :-)


"After the Spill: The Exxon Valdez Disaster Then and Now"

It's not "After the Spill etc".

There's lots of water (and fire.)

diade68 Life of Pi

Not the delightful Life of Pi.

The fire damage was to a building (not for the first time) and the "lots of water" was there before, and after, the fire(s).

was the building a lighthouse?

Or a bordello?

Reply #1539. Jan 28 13, 8:57 AM

Neither of those, Paulmallon.

The building has been restored, despite another fire during rebuilding.
