Here goes, another valiant effort!
1) Dr. Phil McGraw (cannot stand him!)
2) Angels and Demons (the first Langdon book, EXCELLENT series!)
3) Atlas Shrugged
4) Anna Karenina (damn Oprah and her book club!)
5) Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-Exupery and Katherine Woods
6) Without a Doubt by Marcia Clarke
7) Talbot Mundy (I have NO idea, never watched the show), or David Lynch
8) Otto Frank, Anne's Father
9) Three books- The Bourne Identity, Supremacy, and Ultimatum
10) Eight survived- Noah and his family

I'm thinking all but 7 are right, with one other uncertainty.

Actually I like the idea of Oprah's bookclub and there are some excellent books in it, that I would have never have known about if it wasn't for her show. Like Wally Lamb's "I know this much is true", Joyce Carol Oates "We were the Mulvaney's", Paradise by Toni Morisson etc. Although I think Paradise and Anna Karenina is not something with which you can persuade people who hardly ever read, to start reading again. Both books, though excellent books, I would never pick up again to read once more, too much work.

I am pretty sure if Moonshh sees today's pub quiz, and with Faery's answers, she is a sure winner. I am pretty sure she knows the answer to question number 7.

the woman who played laura palmer (cheryl lee) went to my high school. she was two or three years ahead of me, but her brother was in my grade. she came back to high school once to sign autographs for the twin peaks geeks. (not wanting to put down twin peaks fans by calling them geeks. i think geeks are cool.)

Ya know, I am flattered jstkdn.....I was a big fan of Twin Peaks in college. In fact, we used to get together as a group and watch it, or talk about it the day after...and of course I knew it was Laura Palmer...but I wouldn't have answered that to that question, silly me. I misunderstood and was thinking that Twin Peaks was based around some real person's novel or something. You actually had me pondering whose writing that might have been!

Now, I asked this once before, but I'll just check and see one more time...anyone here watch and get sucked into the (albeit brief) mystery of Push, Nevada?

Tsk tsk, based around a real person's novel. You should have known "The owels are not what they seem."
