OK Max or anyone else. Can you guess this book?

So if people could give a stab at guessing its title, or even what the story is about, or indeed the color of the front cover and what's depicted on it, then that would be great.

But also skeptics are also very welcome to try and psychically obtain information about the book

I get a strong feeling that this is a novel we are talking about. The book explores the highs and lows of a period in the life of the main character. The surface message in this book can be analysed at a much more complex level. Often misunderstood this book will in the years to come be looked on more favourable than it is now. It is a book one that people with a literary background would certainly know although others might not.
My chi tells me that on the back of the book we have tributes to the work itself. Again, on the inside I feel that there might be something about the author, a potted history perhaps. I see on the front cover the authors name and the book title (I get a strong feeling of 3-4 words in the title) The letter A stands out. I also get a sense of alliteration somewhere. I am seeing a greenish blue as a colour, The cover containing a oblique illustration. The illusion of a person/people prominent.

Noddy goes to Toyland has? :confused: I think I probably read all of the Noddy books, yet can only remember one scene from one book. Probably because I kept reading it over and over again in complete horror. It was the one where the big bad gollywogs ambushed poor Noddy in the woods and stripped him, and then he went to find ummm . .was it Big Ears? for comfort LOL

I think that was book 4 and it was green. God knows what's happened to that book. No doubt my mother threw it away many years ago :rolleyes:

Hmmm . .come to think of it, I bet Noddy books don't feature gollywogs anymore! LOL
 
Oh yeah - we all forgot...

OK..Just to humour you:

I get an orange circle,
a prison,
an illness or feeling ill,
that the novel is not set in present day.
and that the letters A & B are important.

Now what..?
 
I'll throw in a completely arbitrary guess. First novel title that pops into my mind.

Children of Dune
 
because I'm board "tale of two cities"

OK people. Did anyone actually get any feelings, or is everyone just guessing?

First title that popped into my mind. I don't know if you would count that as a feeling or not. It depends on your definition I suppose.
 
ok, I get a feeling of science-fiction. But it's not by Heilein..... I see the cover as moslty black with a white title, it has a question word that begins with "W" in it (I get the feeling it's "Who", but it could be "Why" or "What").

That's all I get.

[SIZE=-2]Psssst! Don't ever ask Ian for definitions...[/SIZE]
 
OK, I'm going to put down what people are saying they might possible believe they are picking up psychically. I'm going to ignore both those choices which are not novels and those choices where it seems to me that the people concerned are not being serious. To that extent I will be ignoring Shemp's choices, Zep's choice, Undodog's choices (but not his description), Cleopatra's choice, one of Lothian's choices (but not the other).

I'm going to suppose that all the books that people picked are not just arbitrary choices, but what they feel might be the actual book. If I'm incorrect in thinking this, then please correct me.

Sanamas . . . . . . . Book is "Catch 22"

Nyarlathotep . . . . .Book is "Children of Dune".

slimshady2357 . . .Description is "ok, I get a feeling of science-fiction. But it's not by Heilein..... I see the cover as moslty black with a white title, it has a question word that begins with "W" in it (I get the feeling it's "Who", but it could be "Why" or "What")".

Undodog . . . . . . . .Description is "I get an orange circle, a prison,

and that the letters A & B are important".


Darat . . . . . . . . . . .Description is . . . "Black (presumably colour of book or predominant colour) , crime, detective, family, three words in the title (or three significant words), sounds silly with the previous Max guess but I do get something like the “god Father” again – but it isn’t but has some link".

Lothian . . . . . . . . . Book is "Noddy gives a birthday party"


Lothian . . . . . . . . ."Description is "I get a strong feeling that this is a novel we are talking about. The book explores the highs and lows of a period in the life of the main character.

(NB It is not clear to me whether Lothian's description of the book is simply a description of the Noddy book, or whether he is trying to hedge his bets and go for another book with his description).



OK, that's the list so far :)

Ian, both were seperate psychic feelings.

Yes I know, it was just a joke on my part. You know, a Noddy book being described as "the surface message in this book can be analysed at a much more complex level" etc. :)
