I have ordered a copy of 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' by Stephen Chbosky Reply #123. Nov 06 14, 2:34 AM |

It has arrived and I have started reading it. As I have a son of a similar age, it is not an easy read for me. We shall see. Reply #124. Nov 18 14, 5:15 AM |

I bought a copy of 'Stranger in a Strange Land' so I'll probably get to it in due time. Reply #125. Dec 14 14, 11:40 AM |

Kyle, that is a must read book for everyone. I hope you enjoy it. Reply #126. Dec 14 14, 12:03 PM |

I loved it many years ago, but I tried to read it again a few years ago and found it very dated. Still lots of good stuff there, though, so worth it if you can ignore that part. Reply #127. Dec 14 14, 12:45 PM |

One advantage of being a Brit reading a book by an American author is that I do not know if it is dated or not. Some of the costs mentioned seem awfully cheap, but there again I have friends I email with tell me current prices of things and some are so different to here. Over the years I have learned to never apply current rules or how could I read Charles Dickens etc? Reply #128. Dec 16 14, 1:19 AM |

Bumping this up to the top. I haven't read any of these, apart from my own suggestion, but it might inspire someone else. Reply #129. Feb 14 15, 2:14 AM |

I've got a template for your suggestion, Rossian. But I'm making slow progress - it hasn't got any further than one question so far. :-( Reply #130. Feb 14 15, 3:34 AM |

All my books are in storage, and I don't dare write a quiz from memory, even on such memorable books as 'Exodus' or 'Stranger in a Strange Land'. It would be nice to see one of these completed in time to be part of February Pot Luck. (For which, old templates cannot be used - if you have a partially-written quiz, you could get around this by setting up a new template and transferring the information. I won't tell Kyle.)

The template can be older this year; it just needs to be submitted and online in February. Reply #132. Feb 14 15, 3:24 PM |

It has five questions, now, so I might manage it before I go away in ten days time. Reply #133. Feb 14 15, 5:19 PM |

It's submitted, so now it's up to the quiz gods and the editors. Reply #134. Feb 16 15, 10:47 AM |

Lottie's recommendation has been added to the list above! Great to see a new title! Reply #137. Feb 16 15, 6:16 PM |

I'll take Stranger in a Strange Land, loved that book as a kid. (Should these be easy, intermediate or tough quizzes?) Reply #138. Feb 22 15, 11:39 AM |

I'm quite tempted by Jean of Storms (and I don't even much like writing quizzes, but it's a book I've read and quite enjoyed. Problem is, that I've given up quizzes for Lent, which probably also includes writing them, so if no one else has written it by Easter, then I'll take it on. Reply #139. Feb 22 15, 12:01 PM |

Shadowmyst, the important thing is that they be interesting quizzes, that may remind players of a favorite book, or entice players who haven't yet read it into doing so. Reply #140. Feb 22 15, 12:27 PM |
