SwanR Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Taking my turn to be QM this week here are the topics for Friday’s quiz. A literary theme to the title of each round. All are tenuous links to the questions! You do not need to know anything about the books 🤭 Emma Little Women Treasure Island Animal Farm The Wind In The Willows 1984 Hope to see as many as can make it this week. https://www.nbnplus.co.uk/chat/ No password needed. Kick off about 8.35. 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnut Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Thank goodness for that. Gave up English literature before O level. I enjoyed reading books for the joy of it, not to dissect the characters! Looking forward to it Jean, thank you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 well I have read all the books except for the first 2, so that at least gives me a chance, How much I remember of them may be a different matter, as in my youth I was a voracious reader, a book every day from the school library, 12 books a week (4 non fiction) from the local library, and probably a half dozen paperbacks on top. this was before we had a tv at home, or computers come to that.

I needed inspiration for subjects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 let me put it this way, neither Emma or Little women were in a reading genre that I would possibly have read any books in, with the others I may have a chance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikertov Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Oh dear - English Lit was never a strong subject for me. In fact, it was my worst at school. I got a 'U' in my O Level mock, and an E in the actual exam. Was reading one of the books for the first time on the train, on the way to the exam ! Much preferred reading technical books and manuals to plays, novels, and fiction. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 It’s really not a literature based quiz … open minds are needed … you may well be able to guess what some of the questions might be centred around … and if not then all will be revealed on the night. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpnut Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Jean, so sorry but I’ll have to give it a miss. I arrived at the boat at 8am to see Catherine before they left for home. Being nearly a 4 hr journey you can imagine what time I got up this morning. Have fun everyone. Xx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Well that was such a fun evening. I really enjoyed being QM this week and it was a closely fought contest all the way. So many people getting bonus points all over the place for their charm, wit and psychic abilities. In the end it was Bern that came out on top with 16 points. Well done Bern ... look forward to catching up with everyone again next week. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveO Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Great Quiz SwanR. Nik and I laughed the whole way through. Great questions. Plenty of clever people "doing a Biker" and getting extra points for anticipating the answers and plenty of good banter and bonus points. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
