Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. While my home bookshelves may be well stocked, I don't seem to have a copy of "Middlemarch", so I need to go buy one. I'm easily distracted though (it's part of my charm). I enter the revolving doors of Behemoth & Noble, Booksellers. The first thing I see is a display of calendars for a year that won't start for many months. What calendar will I need to buy (eventually) since I live in the USA?
2. You know, when I DO buy that book, I'll need to paste a bookplate into it so nobody steals it before I read it. I buy some bookplates ($4.50) that say "Ex Libris" on them. What does that mean?
3. On my way to "Fiction and Classics" (for "Middlemarch", remember?) I pass a display I cannot resist. They have stuffed "Arthur" dolls, and I have a nephew who looks like Arthur! My nephew looks like an...
4. I'm going to need to send my sister a little apology note, so I'll need these dessert notecards by Ina Garten. By which nickname is Ms. Garten better known?
5. This is getting to be kind of a stressful shopping trip, so I pick up something by Rodney Yee. What would that be?
6. What on earth and in the heavens am I buying now? (Besides "Middlemarch". I AM buying that.) Wands and chalices and swords and coins bedeck my purchase.
7. En route to Mary Ann Evans, I can't resist Hildegarde von Bingen. What am I buying now?
8. I've bought a lot of things thus far in my trip to the bookstore. I think I need a "palmier" now. What's that?
9. I never realized just how many periodicals my "book"store carries. If for some reason I'm ever hired to write a screenplay based on "Middlemarch" and have to move to California, what magazine had I better buy to get ready?
10. I know there are books in here somewhere, but I don't think I have any money left. Except, of course, for the 20th anniversary edition of a certain board game. I HAVE to have THIS! (And so do you, or you wouldn't be at this site. So there.)
