I read clockwork orange in the early 80s in the USA. Does this mean I read the 20 chapter version? It probably would have been the 20 chapter version, I think it late 80s they changed it. I agree with resistor Lord of the Rings and Alien |

First off tenbsmith, there was no derail here. We're still talking about books we've read and liked. Just having a little fun with the plot outlines. Second, pretty darn easy to spot Alien on this web forum as most members can quote the films from beginning to end  |

Y'all got those two right. I'd liked my Alien description, but the LOT one could have used a little work. Maybe I should have replaced ring with something like jewelry or heirloom. I hope resistor gets the opportunity to watch Alien sometime.
I'd debate ntsheep about whether or not this is a derail, but that would only further his evil plans to derail us... ;-)

New one to identify, I'm going to give very little information to start and will add clues if need be.
TV Producer is rescued by a Travel Writer, they go on an epic journey.

But Arthur works in radio. Local radio, I believe. Advertising, I believe.

Yeah, I was slightly thrown off by that too.

My mistake. I think at some point in the myriad incarnations of the series he's a TV producer, but since I was trying to describe the original novel, please accept my humble apologies.
