Posted By: of troy Re: show off your degrees - 10/22/03 02:14 AM
did i misunderstand? i thought dody was asking for several degrees of seperation-

starting with WW post
In the House of the Lord Robert Flynn
to
The Houseof Seven Gables
to
Green Gables
to
How Green Was my Valley
to
Valley of the Dolls
to
A Dolls House

ok, the last one is a play.. but...
i think she wants us to string a bunch together..(and i couldn't with her selection.. so thank you WW!)

and the next poster could start with any list and add to it, or make a new list of their own.....
or did i mess up?

p.s. to dodyskin --

Day of the Triffids was a very good book! Thanks for the reminder. I'll read it again sometime!

Posted By: dodyskin Re: show off your degrees - 10/30/03 09:01 AM
note to coffeebean, it is a good book isn't it? It fairly zips along. I tend to lump it in with a whole lot of other ( fairly terrible) early sci-fi, and then I read it again and think, 'oh, that was a good book'.
