If we adjusted for time between wakefulness, and correct answers, I still lost.

So close but yet so far; my heart burns...

Congrats to the winners!

Chuck, two questions, if you don’t mind:

1. How’s the substack short story submission point coming along?

2. Have you ever read ‘The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break’ by Steven Sherrill?

Glad I stepped back. I got so many of these wrong. But I’m happy for the winners! And honestly I’m happy to learn I was wrong. It was a great read Chuck!

That was stimulating, I couldn't work properly today, always thinking about that book and the questions. Such a nice feeling not being alone to get excited. ( I guess it's the same for everything, even in a legal point of view). Well done!

Congrats everyone! Really loved discovering Nora Ephron. Got hung up on if Finkel had to appear earlier in the book to be a true martyred follower. Thanks, Chuck!

Feel like I keep getting the soggy biscuit… where is all this sorcery taking place. And how do I keep missing it

Oh that’s right. Idiocy and apathy. New diet

Woohoo! Heartburn is my first Nora Ephron, very much looking forward to your closer look.

I just won the “avoid the thought words” Valentine’s Day contest, so please give my win to whoever’s next.

Still haven't finished it to be honest ( Slow reader here, never ashamed). But, this late assignment is proving to be better than the extensive reading class I once took in college. Congrats to the winners and participants. And please stay alive for us Chuck, for another 60 years!

Thanks. Given that I won a prize earlier in the month, I'd like my prize to go to someone else in the group who has not won a prize as you see fit. Thanks!

Well done folks! Didn't have time to read this, so very impressed by the people who did in 24 hours.
