So I am correct is its Red Robin Hood? A confirmation would be very nice, please.

This epic novel borrows heavily from the Bible. The story chronicals the rise, maturity, and decline of a South American family, without any central character or central event. The novel is very confusing because many character's names are variations of other character's names, which makes it hard to remember who's who. In the beginning of the story, reality is portrayed as mythlike and fantastical, but towards the end it becomes more and more realistic. Nevertheless, fantasy and magic occur throughout the novel, but to the reader's suprise they are presented as being mundane and ordinary, while science, on the other hand, is represented as very fantastical. The author won a Nobel Prize for literature. pam

My turn..... 1980's cult classic movie told from current day with a lot of flashback. A great line from it...."Why does the sun come up? Are the stars just pin holes in the blanket of night? Who knows why, but you were born different"

This how-to book is considered to be the most comprehensive of it's kind ever written in America. Many different editions have been published, but the first was written and self published by a recent widow during the Great Depression, in order to raise money to support her family. Subsequent editions were co-authored by members of the woman's family. The 75th Anniversary edition of this cook was published in 2006. Because the different editions of the book straddle such a wide time period, the book has developed considerable historical value, as well as remaining a valuble source of information. Many households have, and use, this book. pam

That's easy (unless I'm wrong), The Joy of Cooking.

This book became a New York Times bestseller and a cult classic, and even inspired a Fox sitcom (which failed miserably). Who knows if half of it is true, but the thing basically consists of every urban legend about the restaurant industry told in the first person. This exposee made it's author into a household name. pam

Since I am not getting any suggestions for my British romantic mystery, here are some hints: The story was adapted by the BBC and released in 1986 as a 6 hour miniseries. It was also loosely adapted (many details changed) in 1963 and made into a film. The backdrop of the story is the English love of horses.

Fiction straight from the NY Times: A child narrator, held captive with his mother in an 11-by-11-foot room, through whom we encounter the blurry, often complicated space between closeness and autonomy. In a narrative at once delicate and vigorous — rich in psychological, sociological and political meaning

quote: ORIGINAL: ChatteParfaitt I would classify this novel as British romantic mystery. The protagonist is a young adult male orphan who becomes entangled in a plot to defraud a very nice British family, because he is the double of a long lost (presumed suicide) boy. This long lost boy just so happens to have been a twin, and when our protagonist arrives on the scene to reclaim his inheritance (as the older of the twins), he effectively disinherits the younger, who is less than pleased. Although the rest of the family welcome the protagnoist back with open arms, the younger twin seems to know he is not really who he claims to be. To further complicate matters, the protagonist falls in love with the twin's sister, but since he is pretending to be her brother, he most obviously cannot act on his feelings. The plot builds on the protagonist's guilt over defrauding this nice family, his antagonism with the younger twin who refuses to accept him, and his growing feelings for the sister that he can never reveal. The author manages to resolve all these plot threads to the reader's satisfaction, and the boy even ends up with the girl. What novel is this? Is this the Prince and the Pauper?

Sorry, no.
