Yes!

[Dee]

thanks! had the book recommended for me for another challenge starting in January and trying to double up where possible ;)

Is The Unreal and the Real: Selected Stories, Volume One: Where on Earth acceptable? The list of opposites gives the pairing real - fake, but isn't unreal also an opposite of real?

[Ava]

Would Seriously... I'm Kidding work for option 2?

Yes, I can see those opposites

[Emurphy]

Yes

[LouLouReads]

Would Sense and Sensibility work for option 2? I feel like they are intended as opposites, but I don't know if they would qualify, since they're not the most obvious.

No, I don't think those are really opposites, sorry.

For opposites, how about "start" and "stop" in the title?

Thanks!

[Book Concierge]

Do "little" and "giant" constitute an opposite pair?
The Little Giant of Aberdeen County

Hi there! For option 2, I'd like to read: Wild Ones: A Sometimes Dismaying, Weirdly Reassuring Story About Looking at People Looking at Animals in America

The opposite words would be "dismaying" and "reassuring".

The online thesaurus has "reassure" listed as an antonym for "dismay" (http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/disma...) if that helps your decision and I definitely think of them as opposites the way they're used in the book's subtitle.

Thanks so much!

The thesaurus link helped, thank you. The words can count as opposites :)

Thanks!
