What is the answer to number 22 of your quiz? It could be asking for the next book.

[valerieb1254]

If the answer to 22 is The Bible. The answer will be EXODUS

[swehttam]

thank you valerieb1254, I thought The Bible but I am not sure, there are more than 22 books in each of the Testaments.
I made a typing error in the original , it should read "The second book of 22"
thank you also bookwormer, to tell you the truth I have no idea at the moment

[Quizmonkey]

swehttam - I think you misunderstand. It only works if the answer to QUESTION 22 is Bible. Do you have that answer?

[valerieb1254]

Only just got back too it, thanks for explanation Quizmonkey.
Val.

[swehttam]

thank you Quizmonkey ,I did misunderstand, valerieb1254 could be right, question 22 Adam and Eve's two sons answer Kane and Abel

[rogerr]

For the first one, all I can think of is Billy liar or Tropic of Capricorn.
Neither fit exactly, but might help.

[bookwormer]

Think the answer to The second book of 22 is the Prodigal Daughter, by Jeffrey Archer, it follows on from his other book Kane and Abel.

[valerieb1254]

Beat me to it bookwormer, just looked it up. You're right.
Val.

[crofter]

I think that rogerr's Billy Liar is worthy of serious consideration. Apart from the obvious "billy goat" connection, Billy Liar has been described as being "silver-tongued".

[crofter]

Is there anything to be gained from the fact that St Patrick's Day falls "just prior to the vernal equinox"?

[jane mark 2]

Just prior to vernal equinox - Middlemarch
