| | | Someone give me something to read!
Ok, I need a new book.
My list of favorite authors include, but are definitely not limited to:
Agatha Christie (read all of her books numerous times)
Dan Brown
Lillian Jackson Braun (read them all)
Arthur Conan Doyle
Shakespeare
Classic literature
Mysteries, suspense, action, some romance (not too much - its got to be real!  ), classics....
Just finished The Last Templar (wasn't all that impressed) and The Picture of Dorian Gray.... I need new material!
(Oh, favorite book is The Scarlet Pimpernel and all other books by Baroness Orczy - haven't read them??? Please do... its WELL worth it!)

This off the Net
Colonel Mustard is without a doubt, the greatest of the CLUE/CLUEDO characters! The Colonel's character varies depending on where you are from. In British CLUEDO, he has always been portrayed as a dashing ladies man, who often has both Mrs.Peacock and Miss Scarlett vying for his attention. In the U.S, however Col.Mustard has aged over the last decade making him an daft old man! No matter where you live, the Colonel is a retired military man, and the common first name given to him is Michael. As for the Colonel's motive for killing poor old Mr.Boddy (or Dr.Black in the UK) it is often because of a bad investment he's gone into with the deceased. Another popular motive is that Mustard is madly in love with Mrs.Peacock and kills his host for some sort of wrongdoing aimed at her. If Rich Uncle Pennybags has any problem with that, Col.Mustard will just pull out his trusty candlestick! | |

Well "K" you are just going to have to take my word for it.
I bought it because I had read most of Pattersons books anyway , when I saw it on the bookstore shelf I'd never heard of it so thought I'd buy it.
Now stop ganging up on me you 2 :-) | |

| In this country I have no idea about all that jibberish you just gave me regarding Colonel Mustard in the game of Clues. However, you are correct he is an older man in our version.
Was his name really Michael? What was Mrs Peacock's first name smarty pants?
At least you kept the book... | |

| WOW!!!
Yesssss.... I admit, I'm gullible.... Which, come to think of it, explains a WHOLE lot of the problems in my love life!!! You think, K? lol
I always liked Mr. Green - Colonel Mustard seemed too old... Course, I was always Miss Scarlett...
Friend4u... you "lend out the book", eh?? Impressing the girls with your soft side, huh?? You need to change your story a tad to REALLY impress the girls.... Reading it with a glass of White Zin and a crackling fire would do the trick. The three hours bit is good though, I must admit. You guys are great. | |
