You should put what this thread is in the first post. It took me three hours and two threads of searching to figure out that the bolded words are answers that people've already gotten and you've gone back and added them in. I kept thinking, "Why do they put the answers in the first posts, and why do people guess when the answer is RIGHT THERE?" Then, finally, about ten minutes ago, I figured it out.

[Grey_Wolf]

Well done, Midge! U may continue.

Sorry, about that.

Btw, you dont have to quote the entire author-post - just type the author and your answers to the titles.

English author, widely regarded with Somerset Maugham and Graham Greene as one of the pioneers of politically sophisticated thrillers. He published 19 novels under his own name and collaborated on four novels with Charles Rodda under the pseudonym Eliot Reed. = Eric Ambler

006 – Black line btwn civilisation and wilderness = The Dark Frontier
007 – Strange Riskyness = Uncommon Danger
008 – Last Text On An Information-gatherer = Epitath For A Spy
009 – Catastrope incitement = Cause For Alarm
010 – Travelling thru scary times = Journey Into Fear

[Midge]

Meh. It makes it easier to reference, I think.

Wild guess:
007 - Weird Danger?
008 - Memoirs of a Spy?

[Gwaimir Windgem]

Is it Kingsley Amis?

[Grey_Wolf]

Good tries but try again, Midge & GW! U may continue.

[Grey_Wolf]

Novelist, poet, critic, and teacher, generally grouped among the "angry young men" in the 1950s with such writers as John Osborne, John Braine, John Wain, Arnold Wesker, and Alan Sillitoe. However, he himself denied the affiliation. A radical in his young adulthood, he was later known for his conservative critique of contemporary life and manners. He once said, that if you can't annoy somebody, there is little point in writing. = Kingsley Amis

012 – Way of Thinking = A Frame of Mind

[Grey_Wolf]

Writer whose prose style, derived from everyday speech, influenced American short story writing between World Wars I and II. He made his name as a leading naturalistic writer with his masterwork, WINESBURG, OHIO (1919), a picture of life in a typical small Midwestern town, as seen through the eyes of its inhabitants. His episodic bildungsroman has been compared often to Edgar Lee Masters' Spoon River Anthology. = Sherwood Anderson

013 – Confused USA = Puzzled America
014 – Greeting community = Hello Towns
015 – Growing up in the Plains = A Midwest Childhood
016 – Soldiers = Marching Men

[Grey_Wolf]

Poet and critic, who has deeply influenced American poetry from the 1970s. He is the best-known writer of the "New York School." The label was coined by John Bernard Mayers in 1961 in an article he wrote for the magazine Nomad. His first collection, Turandot and Other Poems, now a bibliographic rarity, appeared in 1953. His work is characterized by originality, impressionistic elegance, and dark themes of death and terror.

The DYKT III thread has lain dormant for quite some time now.

What I propose is to begin a new session, on Sweden this time since I got a guide of that country too.

Does that sound sufficiently interesting for you all to play and thus revive the DYKT III thread.

Glad to know
GW

[Grey_Wolf]

Now - if you all feel like it - I intend to begin a new session - one on Zoology.

Does that sound like interesting enough for a try?

Glad to know.

[Count Comfect]

I would be interested enough to give it a shot, though I would be poor at it.

That was John Ashbery, no?

[Earniel]

I tend to know more of zoology than of years and literature, so I might give it a shot, if it isn't too specialistic.

[Grey_Wolf]

Thanks all of you - yes indeed it was John Ashbury, CC!

Session One on Zoology - Felids

With exceptionally large males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight,[4] it is the second-largest living variant of the species.

Wild examples currently exist in Sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia with a critically endangered remnant population in northwest India, having disappeared from North Africa, the Middle East, and Western Asia in historic times.

= Lion

[Count Comfect]

So that's a cat. Hmm...lions?

[Grey_Wolf]

Well done, CC! You may continue.

Native to much of eastern and southern Asia, this felid is an apex predator and an obligate carnivore. Reaching up to 4 metres (13 ft) in total length and weighing up to 300 kilograms (660 pounds), the larger subspecies are comparable in size to the biggest extinct felids.range from the Siberian taiga, to open grasslands, to tropical mangrove swamps. They are territorial and generally solitary animals, often requiring large contiguous areas of habitat that support their prey demands. Mowgli's adversary in the JB's. = Tiger

[Count Comfect]

Tyger, tyger burning bright
In the forests of the night
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

[Grey_Wolf]

Well done, CC! You may continue.

It is the only felid found in the New World. It is the third-largest feline after the tiger and the lion, and on average the largest and most powerful feline in the Western Hemisphere. = Jaguar

[Earniel]

Jaguar

[Count Comfect]

But the real question is, how do you pronounce it?
