Slytherin Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Oh come on nobody know this book - just give us the answer Andrew !!!
Andy78 Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 I believe the green short one is now back on-line. He will reveal the answer - if he so chooses.
Zombie Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Zombie's back!! *peruses posts to see if Sheep has been good ... or evil - then spots helpful sheep clues * Okies, published 1960 by an English author who wrote some very well known sci-fi - not Arthur C Clarke
Andy78 Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Apparently the green one does not wish to reveal the answer just yet. All those very helpful clues from me and the zombie:
Red_A Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) I should have know better. I read this is 27 april 1965. It is in one of my first log books The last clue was the best, Trouble with Lichen by John Wyndham Parkes Lucas Beynon Harris Edited May 27, 2013 by Red_A
Zombie Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Kudos to the wallaby ... after a skipload of clues Your turn to stump us Red
Red_A Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 This is my second try, hope I suceed in posting it "It would be more seemly if this ill-conditioned person who is now addressing such a distinguished assembly were to reward his fine and noble-looking hearers for their trouble,"
Red_A Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 "May you live in interesting times"the infamous chinese curse has been "falsely" attributed to this author, but it is the standard curse of the counterweight continent of discworld. Mr Smith would not be amused.
Red_A Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 This author wrote a scholarly work on the Groo-Groo bird. The South American relative of the dodo bird. And fluttered away his money on it.
Red_A Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) Well, the author also was a well known coin collector. Edited June 2, 2013 by Red_A
Red_A Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 The last clue. The author created a blind detective to rival the great man himself.
Red_A Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 The Story Of Yung Chang Part of The Wallet of Kai Lung by Ernest Brammah (Smith)
Andy78 Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 I would suggest if Red_A has not posted by say 12 noon GMT tomorrow then someone should just post the next line.
Andy78 Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 To get us moving along. "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife"
Slytherin Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 The birthday bear is correct Read that book a few times Here is an easy quote : till suddenly his hand met what felt like a tiny ring of cold metal lying on the floor of the tunnel. It was a turning-point in his career, but he did not know it. He put the ring in his pocket almost without thinking; certainly, it did not seem of any use at the moment
Thorn Wilde Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 "Hey," said Shadow. "Huginn or Muninn, or whoever you are." The bird turned, head tipped, suspiciously, on one side, and it stared at him with bright eyes."Say 'Nevermore,'" said Shadow."Fuck you," said the raven.
Palantir Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Hmm. There is a bit of an atmosphere of Charles De Lint or Mercedes Lackey but the 'F... you' doesn't fit so I'll have to pass on this one.
Thorn Wilde Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 No, it's neither of those. This is from a book by one of my favourite authors.
