I thought David Hume was an impressive get for Craig too...I had no problem getting 5/5 on Steinbeck, though I've only read TGoW... (and also In Dubious Battle, so I would have been set if that came up...!) and a teacher read us The Red Pony when I was in grade school. I knew Cannery Row because there was a movie in the '80s with Nick Nolte and Debra Winger...I never saw it either but I read reviews and I remember Nolte played a character named Doc...Come to think of it, I probably read Of Mice and Men too - I know I've seen the play/movies...Elijah Baley wrote: ↑Fri Dec 15, 2017 10:26 amE's probably pining for the fjords!
And I thought that the three TS for Steinbeck was kind of embarrassing for the guys - their middle school English teachers probably spent the rest of the evening sobbing. And yet Craig knew Leviathan before Alex finished reading the clue. The vagaries of trivia, I guess.
I can't remember the last time I thought about the Goodyear blimp...that's my excuse for not getting any farther than Akron = tire on this one.. and since that seemed unlikely, a vague awareness that aviation was in the picture...thinking it must be something newfangled, I ended up with drone...
