(1) Dorothy Parker
(2) Ode to a Grecian urn
(3) Ugly
(4) –
(5) But of course, how else to know if they are worth the effort of reading – mind you a lurid cover might well fool you into wasting your time with dreary prose
1. Dorothy Parker. Why on earth do I know that ??
2. Pass.
3. Ugly.
4. Pass.
5. Judge ! No. Select for perusal !. Yes.
1. Dorothy Parker.
2. Ode on a Grecian Urn, by John Keats.
It continues “that is all ye know on earth and all ye need to know”
If I remember correctly that was Rumpole’s favourite line in the John Mortimer tales.
3. Ugly
4. William Barnes. As Adam says Why on earth do I know that?
5. Very seldom if you are using the phrase in its literal sense. I read mostly library books these days and they seldom have the cover intact.
Arrgh, I’m going to be lousy at this one….
1. Dottie Parker
2. I know its Keats, but forgot the name of the poem.
3. Haven’t a clue.
4. I’m going to guess and say Martha Stewart, although I’m not sure which category her tax returns came into.
5. Not exactly, but I do have a preference for hard covers and first editions. Better Half calls me a book snob.
I would have to say that Rob’s answer to number 4 is much funnier than my one.
