hmmm Foxthyme...i will have to take your word for that. I was thinking of "Eye of Cat" by Zelzny (i have just recently finished reading it) - is Isle of the Dead a sequel?
Righto. Sorry. It's not Isle of the Dead, but Eye of the Cat...
not a problem. So then should we try for:any of the books with Dr Elwin Ransom
The Space Trilogy by C.S. Lewis (Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra and That Hideous Strength - sorry, I wrote my Honors thesis on those and Lord of the Rings)Next: Dorothea Brooke
Middlemarch by George Eliot
Lee Blanchard
Lee Blanchard
Adam Bede by George Eliot (aka pen name of Mary Ann Evans)I am at a loss to find Lee Blanchard ...but if I read the instructions correctly(?) another book by the same author (WITH PEN NAME!!LOL) suffices??
Next Character: Sparrowhawk
Fenixbird... I think you have the rules for Title game and Character game mixed up! But seeing as how this one stalled, I dont think anyone would mind if we try yours....Unless, Greg can give us a hint as to Lee Blanchard.
Lee Blanchard The Black Dahlia -- James EllroySparrowhawk One: Jack Frake – Edward Cline? Let me know if this is what you’re looking for, Fenixbird.
Foxthyme- Well I can't say you are wrong, but I picked this character from A Wizard of Earthsea (The Earthsea Cycle, Book 1)by Ursula K. Le Guin
I say go ahead and post another character..just for finding Lee Blanchard!! LOL
Still not quite sure if Sparrowhawk is aka Jack Frake in this instance...All right, easy peasy, Lord (Fred) Ickenham
I do NOT believe Sparrowhawk is the same..but obviously the name has been used elsewhere...what can we do but accept it?By the way, I just rented the movie made from the Earthsea novels...will add my movie review commennts to my Earthsea book review.
All right to get the game back going!! To clarify your answer is acceptable I suppose!Responding to your Character, My guess
ICKENHAM AND HAREFIELD PAST
by Eileen M. Bowlt
If this is correct, then Next Character: GURNEY HALLECK (Troubadore warrior with Duncan Idaho)
Hi Fenixbird, good find on the name Ickenham. Though I was leaning towards Wodehouse's Uncle Fred Ickenham. But take it away!
Gurney Halleck from Dune series by Frank Herbert.Molly Grue
The Last Unicorn by Peter S. BeagleJack Holloway
Hmm. A little more obscure than I was hoping, I guess.SF. 1962. Has appeared in five books (by three people), the third of which was published last. First book is named for the secondary character (but the pivotal one).
Flow My Tears the Policeman Saidby Philip K. Dick
Next: Evan Treborn
A hint then? book was made into a movie (hey in relatively recent years...)
Is that The Butterfly Effect?If it is, then:
James Sim
Yes, Lori! You are correct..Evan Treborn Character in The Butterfly effect.So..LORI'S NEXT CHARACTER UP: JAMES SIM
My guess is Samedi the Deafness by Jesse Ball. If that's correct then:
Jack Mormon
Hmmmm Shawnee here is my guess could it be you are referring to "Seldom Seen Smith" aka "Jack Mormon" from The Monkey Wrench by Edward Abbey??Thanks! Then...
NEXT CHARACTER: Ralph Roberts
Thanks! Then... NEXT CHARACTER: Lain Coubert...since no one guess Ralph Roberts! I changed next up to LAIN COUBERT
Is no one playing this game???
Hello Character Book Game Players!! Sorry if I have stumped you!?! Or is everyone busy exercise and keeping their New Year's resolutions??? Okay...Lain Coubert is the mysterious "talked about" character in Carlos Ruiz Zaton's book "The Shadow of the Wind."
I will pick a simpler character! HELLO!!
NEXT UP: Pi
Would that be "The Life Of Pi"?I know how you feel FenixBird... sometimes I think i am the only one left who is still interested in one of these threads. Tsk.Tsk.
Why Golly, Lori! Why yes, it would be "Pi"!!Ah don't say it's true....I LOVE this game!! I was thinking it was just the holidays...and everyone MUST be working out...buying vitamins....saying prayers.....ya know?
Teresa
Sooo....WHO IS THE NEXT CHARACTER UP??
