Book Bag: ? I read the word “apolcalyptic” and just assume I don’t know it.
Doing pretty well this week! I know three of them:

Book Bag — the Left Behind series
Non-Fiction: Mein Kampf

I always struggled with Trivial Pursuit. Growing up LDS you would think that I would know the first one but I don’t. Mein Kampf I got.
I knew Mein Kampf and Left Behind.
I’ve seen but not read The Road to Wellville.
When I saw LSD mentioned in the first question, I started tripping and answered “Me” to every question. I’m pretty sure I’ll have to stay after school for detention, AND require extra credit to get my Trivial Pursuit grade up to a D-.
Although I did used to tell my students, back when I was teaching, that they could get extra credit for making me laugh.
Ken Kesey???
Hercule Poirot
Mein Kampf
Left Behind
Three! Maybe four. Three and a half.
Children’s: Ken Kesey
