frankie Posted November 9, 2013 Author Posted November 9, 2013 Yes, male author, and no, not western. Quote
Sara. Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 I know this one, at least I think I do. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, maybe? I´ve read that recently. Quote
frankie Posted November 9, 2013 Author Posted November 9, 2013 Yes, Sara, that's it! Well done! Your turn now Quote
Sara. Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Yaay ˝You know the feeling. First of all, when you hear about the marriage, you say to yourself , ˝I wonder what he´s like.˝ Then you meet him, and think, ˝There must be some mistake. She can´t have preferred this to me!˝ That´s what I thought when I set eyes on ********.˝ Quote
frankie Posted November 9, 2013 Author Posted November 9, 2013 Hm... Doesn't ring any bells... I'll wait and see what others have in mind... Quote
frankie Posted November 9, 2013 Author Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) I'm going with my gut, and I'll say.... it's by a male author? Edit: I want to say Jonathan Tropper! Edited November 9, 2013 by frankie Quote
Sara. Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Not a biography. Yes, it´s a male author. Not Jonathan Tropper. Quote
frankie Posted November 9, 2013 Author Posted November 9, 2013 I want to say Nick Hornby! (Or at least ask: is the author British?) Quote
Sara. Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Not contemporary. It´s not Nick Hornby, sorry Frankie and yes. Quote
chesilbeach Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Is it P. G. Wodehouse? If it is, I have no idea which book as I've not read any yet! Quote
Sara. Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Not historical fiction and yes it´s Wodehouse. I recommend him, he is great. Quote
frankie Posted November 10, 2013 Author Posted November 10, 2013 Not historical fiction and yes it´s Wodehouse. I recommend him, he is great. Is it P. G. Wodehouse? If it is, I have no idea which book as I've not read any yet! Well now chesil, we have a pickle... I've only read a few and it doesn't sound like any of them... And by a few I mean three, tops Anyone else? Help? Quote
chesilbeach Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Well, I'm going to guess it's Jeeves and Wooster, so I'll try the first book in the series, My Man Jeeves? Quote
chesilbeach Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Oh, lucky guess! Next book to guess is ... Watch your step. Keep your wits about you; you will need them. This city I am bringing you to is vast and intricate, and you have not been here before. You may imagine, from other stories you've read, that you know it well, but those stories flattered you, welcoming you as a friend, treating you as if you belonged. The truth is that you are an alien from another time and place altogether. Quote
chaliepud Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Think this may be familiar but for the life of me can't think what it might be!! Will wait for clues.. Is it contemporary? Quote
Janet Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Ooh, I'm sure I've heard that before - it sounds familiar... *Goes to have a think* Quote
Vimes Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Is it a tale of two cities by whatshisname? Quote
Athena Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 My guess is The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber. Quote
