Game: "But I've never read . . ."

Okay, here's a new game for us to try! Here's how it works:

The first person starts by mentioning a book they've read, followed by a book they have not read. For example, the first person might post:

I've read the Harry Potter series,
But I've never read The Hobbit.

Then, the second person -- someone who has read The Hobbit -- posts:

I've read The Hobbit,
But I've never read Pride and Prejudice.

And so on. The "I've never" book can be anything -- but try to go with something that someone around here has probably read, since the point is not to stop the game in its tracks! (If it does get stopped in its tracks for more than two or three days, anyone is free to resurrect it, of course.) Have fun!

Well, I have read Pride and Prejudice,
But I've never read Marked: A House of Night Novel by P.C. Cast.

I've read Marked: A House of Night Novel,
But I've never read Angels and Demons by Dan Brown.

I have read The Secret Garden, but not The Phantom Tollbooth.

I have read The Phantom Tollbooth,
But I I've never read The Eyre Affair.

Hmmmm . . . what have I not read that everyone else has?

Let's try this:

But I've never read The Cider House Rules.

blank silence

*lunacat wonders if it would be impolite to open a bottle of wine instead of tea? and then does so anyway ;)*

okay I've read Anne of green Gables but I've never read Rilla of Ingleside?????

*Looks at everyone else on the couch.* Anyone?

I don't know whether it is good that we have such diversivied tastes in reading or if it is bad that we have such diversafied tastes in reading!

i've read the cider house rules. what do i win?

i could shut this thread down for a few days if i put in beedle the bard.

ok, i;ve never read mansfield park.

ARGH!!!!! Missed it AGAIN!!!!

*resumes position on the waiting couch, very greatful for the tea and biscuits. Only sulking a bit...*

Man, I missed it again!

#93 cat: I'm sure it would be easy to make them.

chickadee's read A Feast of Crows,
but she has never read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

See, now I feel like I can't answer. I've read Feast for Crows to, and I feel a bit gypped that I missed that as well.

Maybe we need two separate threads for this game to double the chances. Or maybe the challenge of getting one is part of the lure?

Oh, Oh, Oh!!!!

I've read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
but I have not read Alcatraz the Evil Librarians (for some reason the touchtones won't work with the word evil in there).

That is a big couch.

She said You Suck MrA.

KIK. Are the two of you having a fight? ;)

Now, now, children. I know we're all between the ages of about 3 and 15 now with the new aging system our Supreme Being put into place, but that's no reason to start bickering like 5-year-olds.

I've read bickering like 5 year-olds,

but i've never read breaking dawn

I've read Breaking Dawn
but I've never read Blood sucking fiends

#122 I started bickering like five-year-olds but I've never finished it.

I am going to lurk for a while....this looks like fun!

make your self comfortable! *makes space on sofa for hemlokgang*

What book are we on again? Are we still on You Suck? I haven't read it, so I'll just settle back in. Welcome, hemlock!

Jim, I hope you meant that as a joke, because I found it hysterical :-P

127- We're on Bloodsucking Fiends now, lefty. Same series (I think), different book. And another one I haven't read. ;)

Ok, I'm getting this thread going again (hopefully.)

I have never read......*thinks*..... Eragon!

Was that one said yet?

I was just about to dig up this thread, Picolina! Thanks for finding it for me!

And I don't think that one has been said yet. But I've gotten to play a lot, so I'll let someone else have a crack at that one.

Yayyy finally one that I have read I keep liking you better and better picolina first the tradition thing and now the book that i have read.

Sends picolina a huge hug and very wet kiss on cheek

I've read Love in the Time of Cholera a long time ago.

Morning MsDonna! *waves*

STEVE HOLT!

I've read snuck snuck,

but I haven't read His Book.

Evening Lady N :)

Huh??

Wha????

Who??

That's weird. I posted Huh?? after MrA's #145. But then MsDonna's #146 crept in like a thief in the night and confused it all. Hmmm... Strange things are afoot in HE land...

I know which book he's talking about! I haven't read His Book either. For those of you who don't know, His Book is what we are calling Stephenie Meyer's book that she doesn't want to finish right now. She has stated that once she hasn't heard the real title for about 2 years, she might finish it. Since we named Twilight The Book, then Edward's version is His Book.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Now I geddit!

(*sigh* amateurs) I've read chapter 1 of his book

but I've never read the absolutely true diary of a part-time Indian

btw #92 is giving me bad flashback. Bad.

I've read The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian,
But I've never read The Catcher in the Rye.

I've read The Wednesday Wars,
But I've never read a Gossip Girl novel.

Oh GOTH!! I've read 3 gossip girl novels

But I haven't stooped as low as pretty little liars

*sitting on the sofa, eating chocolate and waiting patiently*

*Polly joins Luna carrying her box of Lefty's homemade fudge.*

Ooooh. Fuuuuuudge. *Kirby takes a seat next to Polly and reaches for some fudge.*

(sounds of happy munching come from the waiting couch area)

(Hey, I like fudge, budge over)

(There were ten in the bed sofa and the little one said, roll over, roll over!)

(So they all rolled over and Suge fell out...)

That's because she rolled forward. If she had roled over to the side like everyone else, there would have been enough room (remember it's a magical couch).

Another patient bibliophile squishes her way onto the couch. Is that okay?

(There were nine in the sofa and the little one said..)

(Ah so that is how I hurt my bum!)

All aboard the Patience Sofa! Room for everyone!!

By golly, ms molly! I do believe I've stumped the thread, unfortunately its with silly book.

Okay. This is close. The judges will have to decide.

I've read Pretty Little Mistakes. Is that close enough? It really sucked. That should count forsomething.

But I've never read Dracula. Yes indeed. I hang my head in shame.

I've read Dracula

But I've never read Arrow of God

Dracula!!!!!!! I really really wanna read that soooo bad! Is it good?

Ok, whatever, never mind. I just had some sort of really excited moment...lol.

*Takes a deep breath and goes over to the couch.* Wait! I forgot my ice cream! *Goes back to the fridge and puts a ball of a ice cream into a bowl. Then, she walks back over to the couch and sits down.*

#177 picolina

Only one ball of icecream?? You disappoint me picolina

Ok, maybe not............ I just wanted to save some for everyone else!!! Unless it's magical like the couch because in that case...........

of course its magical!

Ok, then I'll have a couple more balls!!! yay! (although it is pretty cold outside already....)

picolina, somewhere around here is a thread with a discussion of Dracula. I think it was in May or June.

Room for one more bibliophile? I haven't even heard of Arrow of God. (Is that normal?)
Oh wait, forgot the sugar cookies!!
*Runs to kitchen, sliding because of slippery floor, and snags gigantic plate of cookies and milk.*
Anyone?

I'm changing my 'but I've never read', if anyone does come along that has read Arrow of God, I'd be interested to hear if it is worth getting.

I've read Dracula

But I've never read The Eyre Affair

Picolina, the book is so much better than any Dracula movie, as most movies about Dracula are pretty comedic. Or, it could just be me that finds them funny?

Ze creatures of ze night, vhat muzic zey make!

Nup, not just you.

I've read The Eyre Affair (and Dracula)
But I've never read (gasp) Pride and Prejudice!

I've read The Bell Jar,
but I've never read Elantris.

Touchstone died.

I've read Elantris,
But I've never read A Girl Named Disaster

I've never read that, but I just wanted to say thanks, foggi, for getting this started. It's great fun.

Indeed! Great game! *Continues waiting on the magical couch, which has more room since Suge fell off ... again. ;)

Ditto. *The longer I sit on the magical couch, the more space I seem to occupy.

maybe its that box of fudge on your lap?

Can I have some??? Drooling

Some what? If it is fudge you want:

Ooooooookay, looks like I stopped the game in its tracks. Let me change the "I've never" book . . .

I've read O Pioneers, too. Now, someone do Arrowsmith, I dare you!

I've read "Arrowsmith". It was in post #215.

Haven't read the actual book, though.

MrA....MrA....tut tut tut.

:P~ It was a technically correct answer.

sure, but still bratty. ;-P~~~~~~

I dont need to shut your little thread down indefinitely. Someone else can go if they want.

Well I've heard Aerosmith...

eta: Oh that's neat! I didn't think they actually wrote any books!

#221 Holy Crap, dude. One touchstone I never would hve thought to exist!

makes you want to touchstone random words, doesn't it?

littlegeek

heh heh heh.

You got the second half right, MrA. Should be Little,geek (couldn't get it to work right without the comma, alas).

How about foggidawn?
And MrAndrew?
And pollysmith?

I love the books that are coming up!

eta: Aw man! foggi, Breaking Dawn isn't touchstoning when I submit this!

jugglingpaynes works too. :)

Thank you, foggi. I hate when people touchstone my name wrong.

lefty

;) Just had to try it.

Bib

How does it decide?

Hmm, on entering "bib," it came up with Holy Bible. But it isn't linking once I submit the post. :/

Interesting. There's a book called Biblio that would work, but the only books with "holic" are some manga that I think I would prefer not to have my name linked with.

Mandy2 will work though!

hey i have that book...never read it though, i should find it and give it a shot.

I forgot about my numbers!

33

renald ohh my god I didn't think this existed and I like the title...

Let me try other ones renald, renald

Fun!!!

Let's see...

catbastet

Hm, well it works if I touchstone cat and bastet separately, but it doesn't work if I put them together.

My real name's a lot easier to touchstone but I managed to get my username.

Kerian

ETA: It looks like both author names were mistakes on LT. Oh, well. There is an Ian Ker, though!

Not to be too much of a pain in the neck here, but what book are we waiting on?

Picolina hehehe, that's interesting.

#236 -- I think the last unread was Arrowsmith.

I'm sorry foggi! I take the blame for distracting everyone.

What if we just pick some random LTer who has read it and continue from there? :o)

Sounds good to me!

OK, then. PrinceLackadasia read Arrowsmith,
but I've never read My Side of the Mountain

I've read My Side of the Mountain (and I think you would like it, JP),

And what the Supreme Being says, goes! :-D

Well, then! I intend to read Paper Towns (and have several friends who have read it),

I've read Marley and Me
but I've never read The Voyage Of The Beagle.

#270 - Is that even a book?

Oh good lord...Andrew has rubbed off on you. Second thought, forget I said that.

Charles Darwin, The Voyage Of The Beagle

What time is it there? Is it Christmas already and you're waiting up to catch Santa? Oh wait a minute the US is behind us so he'll be visiting us (or at least me) first. Sorry to tell you but the trap is already set here, so you'll be waiting some time.

ETA: I just re-read that and I think I'm channeling someone. Quick send an exorcist (I'm scared).

I've patted a beagle. Is that close enough?

#273 - Santa has already been here. You can tell that because I have an overwhelming urge to start chanting "neener neener".

#274 - Is there some sort of Australian version of the ASPCA I should be notifying?

#275 - what did you get?

I've read excerpts of The Voyage of the Beagle (for Biology class)

I HAVE read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell but I have never read......

The Hobbit

I have read the Hobbit but I have never read The Fellowship of the Ring.

I have read The Fellowship of the Ring

But I've never read Choke

Hmmm . . . not a lot of Chuck Palahniuk fans around, I'm guessing? Maybe we should expand it to anything he's written? (Even if we do that, I still can't answer this one.)

*polly sits on couch crocheting her baby blanket and waiting*

*joins the couch and brings some cookies from the dark side*

hmm can i do it as my husband? then we can get this rolling

Yes please mandy!!

I second the motion!

If we're expanding it to include any Chuck Palahniuk books, I've read Fight Club but I haven't read Brisingr.

I've read brisingr but I've never read...uh......war and peace?

I've read War and Peace, but I have never read Doctor Zhivago.

That was a long pause..........How about.......I have not read All The Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy

Wait... I have read Doctor Zhivago but I've never read Look at the Harlequins by Vladimir Nabokov.

yes Jim but what have you never read?

I've read Choke, if anyone cares.

I've never read Phineas Finn, but it's next on my list.
