Which book is this?

[Sara.]

Was it written in the past 50 years?

 Yes, it was.

 

Doesn't sound familiar... But sounds good!

 

 

No worries, life sometimes gets in the way

 

Is it by a female author?

 

Edit: No, wait, I'm going to try: The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snickett?

 

It´s good, yes. Not by a female author and that´s not it. 

[chaliepud]

SF/SciFi? (Can never remember the correct way to shorten it.. Don't tell Steve!)

SF stands for Suomen Filmiteollisuus, a Finnish movie production company

 

Edit: Chalie, just say sci-fi

Sci-Fi it is then.

[frankie]

High five!

[Sara.]

Hahaha, it ´s not SF,  SiFi or sci-fi.

[frankie]

 

Is it a young adult book?

[Sara.]

No, not YA either. Do you want a hint?

[frankie]

Hm... maybe a teeny tiny one?

[Sara.]

The author is American. That's teeny tiny.

[frankie]

To sum up:

 

It was written in the past 50 years. By a male author. Not sci-fi, not YA. And American author...

 

The quote seems somehow familiar, even though it's not ringing any particular bells... This is verrrry interesting

[Sara.]

Haha, yes, glad you like it

[Karsa Orlong]

Sci-Fi it is then.

Man I haven't known any of these books but will keep watching.

[chaliepud]

Is there a TV series/film connection?

[Sara.]

No, no connection. But there is a connection to the very significant group of writers.

[chesilbeach]

I wondered if it was The Catcher in the Rye or something from that generation but they're a bit older than that.

[Sara.]

No, it' s not that. It was written in the 90s.

[Sara.]

It' s not that popular and the group isn't that famous but is very significant.

[Sara.]

Is no one going to have a guess? Should I give a second quote?

[chesilbeach]

I have no idea, so another quote might help!

[apacheflower]

I don't have a clue either just been lurking in the shadows

[Sara.]

Here it is then

˝He smiles widely and promisingly. And with the excitement potential, I go off. Halfway down the tackiest part of Eight Avenue, feeling truly cheap, I wonder how I´m going to pull this off. It´s worse in the hotel lobby. And worse in the elevator , where I´m sure everyone is looking at me thinking the thruth.˝

[frankie]

Oh! Could it be American Psycho? I'm not sure when that was written, in the late 80s or early 90s...
