Ariel - Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

Nexus - The Old Man and the Sea. It's 100 odd pages of this bloke trying to catch a fish. He catches it, then it gets eaten by a fucking shark!

FUN FACTS

-many people tie for first! Congrats to Equinox, Ariel, Cheery Dog and Nahdia for all managing to get four guesses correct!
-it feels overall like this round wasn't as hard as I had originally thought it was going to be, granted McMenno's submission borderline increased the average scores of everyone by one
-lilith does a hard sneak with her submission
-Cheery Dog manages to tie for first and like technically it's like probably easier to do that when you have another submission to guess for but like we'll still give it to him

Round 19: Formative Figures

Who is someone that you would consider a role model that's influenced who you are as a person?

[Errantparabola]

2 for 2 on GEORGE BAILEY CORRECTNESS!!!!

[Nahdia]

my father insisted a read a litany of Great American Novels as a teen. some decent ones, some stinkers. A Confederacy of Dunces was definitely the most painful.

[NotAJumbleOfNumbers]

Ecce Romani I was a Latin textbook. I regret taking Latin class. Enough said.

[lilith2013]

NotaJumbleofNumber's submission was easy for me to guess - Ecce Romani I is like the classic Latin class book that you get when you first start taking Latin, and they were the closest in age to the time that I imagine they'd encounter it.

pedit: see above

[Nahdia]

i mean i figured out it's a latin textbook but i was just trying to guess blind who might have taken latin. didn't think to guess someone in that age range.

[lilith2013]

-lilith does a hard sneak with her submission

[lilith2013]

i mean i figured out it's a latin textbook but i was just trying to guess blind who might have taken latin. didn't think to guess someone in that age range.

idk I feel like someone who hasn't recently taken Latin wouldn't immediately think of their Latin textbook as the worst book they've ever read, that was my reasoning for looking at ages

[Nexus]

Old Man and the Sea is fucking garbage though fo real

[lilith2013]

I was thrown off by the exclamation point

[Nahdia]

i think my father read me Old Man and the Sea... i remember not disliking it?

[NotAJumbleOfNumbers]

Nexus got mine right and you missed it

[Not_Mafia]

That one classic novel I think is bad is Frankenstien, not like, it's not for me but I can see it's good like Dickens or LOTR, but like, it's just plain bad

[GeorgeBailey]

Atlas Shrugged: Where every socialist is a cold-hearted idiot who hates freedom.

Also 6 chapters talking about railroads. Ty.

[Cheetory6]

Nexus got mine right and you missed it

Oh nice Nexus is on the board! Thanks for pointing that out

[Nexus]

hooray not completely shit

[Equinox]

I had some difficulty recalling the worst book I had ever read because I tend to DNF the terrible ones, but

Me Before You

was pretty bad.

[McMenno]

Old Man and the Sea is fucking garbage though fo real

agreed

Atlas Shrugged: Where every socialist is a cold-hearted idiot who hates freedom.

Also 6 chapters talking about railroads. Ty.

yards of linen intensify

-Cheery Dog manages to tie for first and like technically it's like probably easier to do that when you have another submission to guess for but like we'll still give it to him

yeah but he knew I hated those books. I think he's read the whole series though? crazy man

[Cheery Dog]

I'm pretty sure EP was giving points for knowing your own identity.

[Errantparabola]

probly better this way so ppl r on an even playing field if they dont submit that being said i intentionally didnt provide that in order to incentivize ppl to submit
