The original list had 50 words; I've left out four of them - because they form the title of the book.
Name that book. Answer in the comments section.
I'm going to guess Green Eggs and Ham?
ReplyDeleteGreen.
ReplyDeleteEggs.
And.
Ham.
Not only are the 50 words in the book - they are the only words in the book.

I can't believe you found this and replied before I could even type the answer!
ReplyDelete"Name that book. Answer in the comments section."
ReplyDeleteThat could either mean that you'll provide the answer in the comments section, or that we're supposed to guess at the answer in the comments section.
It looks like Mike thought, as I did, that the meaning was the latter one.
the word Sam gives it away, Sam I am
ReplyDeleteThat's fine. I wasn't complaining.
ReplyDeleteInsert two smileys. :.) :.)
I was just flummoxed that I wrote a blog entry and spent two minutes typing the answer and by then someone had already logged on and answered it.
It was as though someone was looking over my shoulder...
Hah! I was going to guess "Of mice and men" :)
ReplyDeleteI guessed Green Eggs and Ham, too (before I checked the comments).
ReplyDeleteGot lucky. I usually check your blog once a day, and I must've hit it just right :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for a fun and interesting blog, btw!
