'Serenity'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
did everyone know all the stories from the bible in 1850?
They did, actually. In most homes, the only book was the Bible. This is why not having at least some knowledge of the King James Bible is a real handicap in understanding anything written in English in the 17th through the 19th century.

Didn't one of the Little House books have a Bible-verses-recite-off between the three oldest sisters, and Mary ended up winning? I think it was in The Long Winter, and it was a game that Ma made up to while away the long days stuck indoors.
There was also extensive Shakespeare knowledge. Sailors on shore leave would sometimes stage Shakespeare play's for their own amusement.
[Edit] Bible was universal. But Shakespeare was pretty common part of English and U.S. culture.

Cowboy Feng's Space Bar and Grill
I enjoyed that. Brust was not happy with it! (Though he may have changed his mind later) curious to see which view you take.
Hey, is Mockingjay out soon? It's supposed to be out this month, right? Is it ALREADY out?
August 24th, sumi. Two weeks from today! I can't wait!
I'm #19 on the library list so I should get it right away.
i'm # 496 on my library's list *sob* Strangely, as of today, the listing says there is 1 copy (and a zillion more ordered....)
I am only #19 because I obsessively checked the catalog until they listed it.
