Wonderful comment Felix :)

Felix,
Read some blurbs regarding Dayan's The Six Day War and the relationship between him and PM Golda Meir.

Feliks wrote: "Fun history

Look up the zany story of Leo Taxil"

And a very long name as well.
Felix, "zany" is the perfect word to describe Taxil's personal history.

I didnt either.
Ha, Guess the assassin didn't get that envelope. :)

You are right Felix-
Ugh :)

Totally agree. with you.
I read it twice to make sure I got it right. "Outlandish" certainly
says it all. Like out of a movie.

Well that's good to know:)
So.. I'm not getting it. "wtf " means...?
You're shocked at her profile?

Great re author. Looking forward to the book.
Let me know in case I miss it?

Felix,
You know I'm not an author, but what you are doing for these group authors is wonderful. Just sayin...

That is one of the best true experiences I have heard in a long time.
Thank you for that Robert.

Nice hint, but Im stumped.

Yes, "Cryin' Uncle.... :). Thank you!
I can't believe I missed that, knowing "Die Spinne"
Read the book and saw the movie as well.
Great book, great author.

Feliks wrote: "Just reminding you that I only read classics, that's all."

Ok Felix-
It's time to put me out of my misery.

Ummm... I'm not sure if you are sending a subliminal message
or giving me a hint.

Damn!!! :)

How long will you make me suffer?

I'm horrible at Jeopardy, but willing to embarrass myself to see if this a coincidence or not. The title you write looks to be German. I don't believe you would read a Kate Quinlan novel or I would have guessed "The Huntress". :)
But someone gave me a book called "The Ratline" three weeks ago which I just started. I think that was published in 2020 so I'm probably wrong.

At your suggestion Felix, I did peruse his shelf. Some great books
screaming to be read. I found two I had read before-
So thank you for the heads up.
