The book dialog game - Page 33

Well, even though Fbone seems to know it, I'll give another quote;

“Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away. I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them.”

I'm going with the Life of Pi. I haven't read the book yet, and from what I know about it, it doesn't sound like it would have a math quote in it, but just based on the name, I'm going with the Life of Pi.

HomeInMyShoes · 10-08-2011, 09:25 AM

Carl Sagan?

Bilbo1967 · 10-08-2011, 09:35 AM

Not Life of Pi or Carl Sagan.

Two more quotes. I think if you have read the book you'll get it from these.

“And I know I can do this because I went to London on my own, and because I solved the mystery…and I was brave and I wrote a book and that means I can do anything.”

"Everyone has learning difficulties, because learning to speak French or understanding relativity is difficult.”

WT Sharpe · 10-08-2011, 09:37 AM

Danica McKellar?

Bilbo1967 · 10-08-2011, 09:58 AM

Not Danica McKeller, no.

Some clues; the book was written in 2003, the book is written from the perspective of a 15 year old autistic boy, it won the Whitbread Book of the Year award, the title comes from a comment made by Sherlock Holmes in the short story Silver Blaze.

Well, I can get the book from the final clue.

"The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" bu Mark Haddon

but I haven't read it, so perhaps someone who has read it and restrained themselves should post the next one (Fbone?).

HomeInMyShoes · 10-08-2011, 10:41 AM

Wow, I read it and had no idea from the quotes. Of course I read it six years ago and there's been a lot in-between. I remember enjoying the book a lot when I read it.

Bilbo1967 · 10-08-2011, 11:08 AM

It was "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" by Mark Haddon.

Next please.

Oh, I feel stupid. I actually read the book too.

I think I would have got it from the quote--

“And I know I can do this because I went to London on my own, and because I solved the mystery…and I was brave and I wrote a book and that means I can do anything.”

but I didn't read it time.

That was the one I thought would give it away, yes.

OK - while no one's looking, here's a fun one:

“I couldn't be fonder of you if you were my own son. But, well, if you lose a son, its possible to get another."

Hah, I wouldn't of had a clue if this had not been a book of the month selection not so long ago. Maltese Falcon!

Glad things have swung away from fantasy novels.

poohbear_nc · 10-08-2011, 04:21 PM

You are correct! Take it away Hamlet53! Give us a new clue!

Hamlet53 · 10-08-2011, 08:55 PM

So this should be easy for anyone who has read the book in question:
