Topic: What Book Am I?

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.

Was the writer's earlier success a first novel written in the 60s?

jabb: his name is Ace Atkins and I read it and was pleasantly surprised
BTW There is a new Jesse Stone novel coming out, writen by someone other than Ace. Don't recall who, but I just ordered it from my library.

Paul--me too. It's nice to think Parker's characters will live on, even though he's no longer with us. BTW, I took your Parker quiz and liked it. Sent you a note about authors.

The author was born a little earlier than Levin. And died earlier.

Could it be Mario Puzo's 1978 novel "Fools Die?"

Reply #274. Sep 16 12, 2:20 PM

Upstart3

No - but the author died in the same year as Puzo.

Ok, then how about Joseph Heller's "Something Happened" from 1974, or "Good as Gold" from 1979. Prior mega-hit obviously, "Catch-22."

Good as Gold it is.

All right, how about this time it's a novel set in the basic geographic region where I live.
