Definitely Purple Hibiscus. Loved that book |
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by tpia5: 6:28am On Oct 16, 2012 |
oops, i'd forgotten there was another book which fit that criteria. the one i meant was Yellow Yellow by kaine agary. but purple hibiscus also matches, so i guess its both. |
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by vescucci(m): 12:35pm On Oct 16, 2012 |
Hehe. I had a feeling this would happen cuz Purple hibiscus is a flower and not just a colour. That's why I kept mum |

Abeg stop ur pleasantries and ask kweshun joor. |
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by kay9(m): 4:37pm On Oct 16, 2012 |
Ok here's another one: Name the AUTHOR and the BOOK. - the book centers (more or less) around a young female writer and her former lecturer. - if turned on its head and summarily summarized, the book is just about a f**king flying saucer. - the author is American, and is prolly more popular than his own books sef. Oh, and my favorite clue: he's been mentioned here already. Cant give the genre; its a give-away. |
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by vescucci(m): 5:29pm On Oct 16, 2012 |
Gotta be Sidney Sheldon. Doomsday Conspiracy. Funny I haven't read the book but a friend told me about it. 'Sides, all his main characters are female. . . . . the shithead |

1. Author is female 2. Started the religion- objectivism 3.Protagonist of her novel and embodiment of what human beings should aspire to (according to her): Howard Roarke |
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by UjSizzle(f): 9:44pm On Oct 16, 2012 |
vescucci: and I you |
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by kay9(m): 10:36pm On Oct 16, 2012 |
^^What's with all these lovey-dovey higgledy piggledy drama?? Very funny. By the way, V, u're wrong! Yeah, that ought to burst your lovey-dovey baloon. Teeheehee! I havent read Doomsdat Conspiracy though...u sure the main character's a female writer too? I'm tempted to mentioned the genre, but it'll become too easy after that - the writer's name is synonymous with it... Now even that is a give-away. Raggedy_Ann: 1. Author is female Answer is The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand... Thank you, Google!! Oh lovely internet, where would i be without you? |
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by vescucci(m): 8:30am On Oct 17, 2012 |
I know little things about some books that I haven't read. Like to the last question, I'd have answered Atlas Shrugged by the same author. *shrugs*. If not for the flying saucer, I would have answered The Pelican Brief by John Grisham. But I don't remember any fucking flying saucer. @uj_sizzle. Let's get a sizzling room, shall we? Before Kay9 will immolate himself out of envious protest. |

Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by dominique(f): 10:59am On Oct 17, 2012 |
@Vescucci doomsday conspiracy is actually one of the few Sheldon where protagonist is male. From the clues, i knew i know who the author but couldnt think far cos i'm still recuperating . lemme drop this simple one before y'all derail again -author is british male -kighted by Brithsh royalty -one of his most famous books was named after Biblical characters. clue 2&3 pretty much gave it away (to those who sabi authors o). |

So no one guessed my riddle then? Can't say i blame you guys, what with uj and Vesc spreading pheromones everywhere and discombobulating everyone... kay9: Ok here's another one:^^ Anyhow, the author is Stephen King, and the book is THE TOMMYKNOCKERS. Few horror fiction fans here, i guess. Last night and the night before, Tommyknockers, tommyknockers, knocking at the door. I want to go out, dont know if i can 'Cos i,m so afraid of the tommyknocker man. |
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by kay9(m): 1:59pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
dominique: @Vescucci Going out on a limb here... Arthur Canon Doyle? Did i even get the name proper..? |
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by UjSizzle(f): 2:07pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
kay9: So no one guessed my riddle then? Can't say i blame you guys, what with uj and Vesc spreading pheromones everywhere and discombobulating everyone... hmmm i tried reading Stephen King once, dnt remember the name of the book sha but it gave me the creeps. I learnt the word 'Lemmings' from it tho on d plus side. |

kay9: So no one guessed my riddle then? Can't say i blame you guys, what with uj and Vesc spreading pheromones everywhere and discombobulating everyone...My favourite line in the book is "Its the Super biatch: faster than a speeding hate mail, able to leap over cringing family members in a single bound." It has been years since I read The Tommyknockers but this particular line has stuck to my brain like superglue |
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by vescucci(m): 2:45pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
dominique: @Vescucci I didn't read the book. I think I've outgrown Sheldon but I might just read it. How do you feel now? Pele. Get well soon so I don't have to be nice to you. As for your riddle, I think it's Jeffrey Archer's Kane and Abel. I know he is/was into politics but I dunno if he was knighted. |
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by vescucci(m): 2:49pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
uj_sizzle: Lol. Some people will burst a gut here. Let's have mercy. |
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by vescucci(m): 2:52pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
kay9: So no one guessed my riddle then? Can't say i blame you guys, what with uj and Vesc spreading pheromones everywhere and discombobulating everyone... Lol at pheromones. You know the thing about pheromones? You can only pick them up when you have a sense organ for picking them up. Stephen King has written like a billion books. This one has not even intrigued me. Maybe I might think about trying to attempt to read it now. . . . . if I feel like it. |
Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by vescucci(m): 2:53pm On Oct 17, 2012 |
kay9: Lol. You hear bibble peren, Conan turn to Canon. |
