Oh...I didn't realize that got me the next question! I'll try to come up with one soon!
Is there a current quiz question? My brain is getting sluggish lately! π«π§ π π΄Pammy Jo π
While we're waiting for a new quiz, I have a good riddle..."I have cities, but no houses. I have mountains, but no trees. I have water, but no fish." What am I???

You are going to wear out your brain, Dorothy!ππ€£πππ€
Pamela wrote: "You are going to wear out your brain, Dorothy!ππ€£πππ€"I think I already did! π€£
Well, I can't think of the answer to your riddle, Pammy, but here is the long-awaited quiz question!This NE author went to court over an unauthorized translation of their book, but lost. Who was it, and what was the book?

The riddle answer is.....
A MAP

I want to say Melville or Twain, but I'm not sure.π€π€π€π€π€
Pamela wrote: "The riddle answer is.....A MAP"
Oh, goodness, Pammy! I can't believe that didn't occur to me! π€£
Pamela wrote: "I want to say Melville or Twain, but I'm not sure.π€π€π€π€π€"Neither...but one of them knew the author.
Oh dear. So many authors knew each other.π€π―β
Meg wrote: "ππ‘ I want to say Hawthorne."He was friends with Melville, wasn't he? I bet you are correct!
I'll check back later. Lots of pain today, so I'm going to try to rest...hopefully.
Pamela wrote: "Meg wrote: "ππ‘ I want to say Hawthorne."He was friends with Melville, wasn't he? I bet you are correct!"
Yes he was! For some reason I'm remembering something about a lawsuit, but I actually thought it was Hawthorne's wife, and after his death! π€ I could be totally off, though. π€·ββοΈπ
You are both totally off. π Emma? I'm sorry, Pammy! I hope you feel better! π€
I'm thinking...but I'm not sure...π€π€
I hope and pray you get to feeling better, Pammy!! ππ€π€π
Emma wrote: "I'm thinking...but I'm not sure...π€π€"Think harder!

Emma wrote: "Dorothy wrote: "Emma wrote: "YES!! π€£π€£π€£"You want to guess or you want another hint?"

Well,why didn't you say so? ππ€£ The author in question was a neighbor to one of the two authors Pammy mentioned.
