A friend of mine gave me an assignment - but I'm having trouble focusing:
he's given me the initials of well-known books and the initials of the authors of those books- for example:

Title Author
WH EB (Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte)

Can anyone get the rest of these?

TSDOAM is the title - ST are the initials of the author

ACGAS is the title - JH are the initials of the author

GT for the title- JS are the initials of the author

I is the title - SWS are the initials of the author

Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy
Hurray - Well DONE Lion Tamer and DJ! (That's what everyone says when you get the right answer at a quiz here!).

I was so focused on John Steinbeck for GT (because I'm American) - I even thought he'd transposed the letters on the little paper he gave me and thought he meant TG for, 'The Gift'.

I should have gotten Ivanhoe though- although I've never heard of the Secret Diary of Adrian Mole- and only read the reader's digest condensed version of All Creatures Great and Small.

Yeah - thank you, thank you, thank you. He does these quizzes and I think this one might even be for money - so he'll be so happy and I'll give you guys the credit.

thanks again!

I read them too. I thought they were cute, but not really very memorable.
