The Unread Dusty Classics Game - Tag, You're It!

Betenoir - this is how to play the game. If you’ve read the last book mentioned by someone, then you say you’ve read it, and then YOU name a dusty classic you’ve read.

I said I’d read The Good Soldier. If you’ve read The Good Soldier, then say so, and mention another book - only one book. The next person to post has to have read that book, and names a new book, etc.

If these rules are too hard, then maybe Twickster and I will have to play just between the two of us, even if Twickster is from Philadelphia or some place like that.

Dammit!
Sorry – my fault for introducing The Exeter Book Riddles. I thought in this group someone else would have read it (and they did).

I’ll tone it down.

But i haven’t read Middlemarch, so I’ll have to wait.

:dubious: Yeeesssss. I understand how to play. That’s why I wasn’t. That’s why I was making a vaguely self depreciatory post about almost having the goods to participate, but not quite. You know, in the spirit of fun, like I thought these threads were.

But if you feel the need to be unnecessarily condecending, yes, please feel free to go and play with yourself.

I took a British Novel class in which I read The Good Soldier, and also Tobias Smollett’s The Expedition of Humphry Clinker.

Betenoir - My apologies. I was trying to indicate that I had not been able to clearly explain the game. :smack:

Actually, my apologies to ALL of you. I guess I got a bad case of ‘My thread, my rules,’ and made it no fun for anyone. Lesson learned.

Fair enough :slight_smile: .

I was just pissed off I hadn’t read the Good Solider…it was on my list as I really like the Fifth Queen…

Stop making up authors and book titles, folks. Damn.

I’ve read Barnaby Rudge.
