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?



Please feel free to leave feedback for the site administrators. We will take all feedback into account as we tweak and add new features.
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.

Sorry, not Marquez nor Spanish.
Clue: was a world-wide bestseller and published in at least 25 languages.

No, he is European and the book is set almost entirely in Europe.

Stieg Larsson's "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"?

Reply #787. Oct 19 12, 1:49 PM

It's an adult book, not French, or any of the authors mentioned.
Another clue: a movie was made of it.

Oh, I thought for sure Picard had it.

Is it "Sophie's World"? Jostein Garder?

Though that was written 21 years ago, so perhaps that's not correct after all.


Part of a series?

adams627 The Elegance of the Hedgehog?

It's not part of a series, and was the first book originally written in this language to be on the NYT bestseller list.

Huge clue: The movie version won at least one Oscar.

Q & A?

Reply #795. Oct 19 12, 5:56 PM

No, I guess you'd say central Europe.

Not sure, Jake, what you mean by your question.

Schindler's List? Not sure if that was a book 1st but it fits the clues. I don't think Jake's Q & A was question but rather a guess at the title.

nitram67

Oops, just found out the book was called Schindler's Ark, but maybe my guess is wrong anyway?

Reply #798. Oct 19 12, 6:36 PM

Q&A was the original title of the (Indi) book that was turned into the Slumdog Millionaire movie.

and lol I thought about Schindler as well, perhaps the "Ark" is correct.

Jakeroo

In any case, India is certainly not central Europe lol
So my next guess is "Kolya".
