[QUOTE=Dolores Reborn] Way to go, **Hal**! We have another repeat winner. I really should go back and make a chart of winners. Hal had 7 of the top scoring answers. And we have a first. **China Guy** got a zero. But I think he knew that going in… 😃 [/QUOTE] These are books read by billions :smack: ---

OH MY GOD! I came 7th, how did that happen??? The best I’ve achieved before it so be ten places from the bottom. If only I’d gone for my gut instinct on dog and put Lassie rather than Snowy. Oh, and when did Venice become a fictional place? ---

[QUOTE=Illuminatiprimus] Oh, and when did Venice become a fictional place? [/QUOTE] The question called for a well-known _literary_ place. I (and apparently some others) took that to mean a place mentioned in literature (e.g. The Merchant of Venice). Thanks for the game, my best finish yet! ---

Wow - Fourth. That’s twice in the top ten. It looks like I’m getting good at thinking like the rest of you. Is that a good thing? ---
