Re: Twenty Questions - Game 109
He'd have likely made the top 20. I did enjoy Neverwhere, and Good Omens is a favourite (although it's hard to say how much of it was him). He'd be in good company, with Peake, Mantel, Dahl, Herbert et al. But not quite top 10

Re: Twenty Questions - Game 109
2 questions left. I think narrowing down birth/death would be helpful. What do people think are good guesses for that?

Re: Twenty Questions - Game 109
Other things we have not established, but may wish to consider:
- Ethnicity / race (we may assume it's a white guy, but not necessarily).
- Were they famous for one great novel, or something else.
- Were they even a writer of fiction.
(I am NOT asking any of these questions at this stage, QM)

Re: Twenty Questions - Game 109
My mind, perhaps expecting odd things from sweetandcool... keeps pushing down unusual 'writers.' I think, question wise, that Jamie and fox have suggested some good guidelines... but we only have two questions.
Should we use up some of those free guesses before we narrow?
