A few Christmases ago my boyfriend bought me the Book Lovers Edition of Trivial Pursuit and I thought I could virtually play with my fellow book lovers, or at least ask you a weekly literary question. So here goes (if you win then please treat yourself to a slice of pie/cake/pizza/delete where appropriate)…

From the Book Bag section:
What three words begin Lilian Jackson Braun mystery titles: Said Cheese, Saw Stars and Sniffed Glue?

“The millions of eggs that we women begin with are cleanly destroyed through an innate cell program called apoptosis. The eggs do not simply die – they commit suicide.”

Woman: An Intimate Geography by Natalie Angier p. 3

   "The Cat Who…"

   I love your weekly literary questions (especially when I know the answers).

   I have this game and I never play it, it is just too difficult. Very embarassing for someone who considers herself a bibliophile!

   Hi Karen, thanks for commenting. I agree that it is a difficult game! A lot of the questions are very niche.
