I got three! Although someone else had already guessed one of mine. I love this tradition and every year I wonder if there's some way to do some variation on it myself.
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
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."

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Yeah, first time in a while I didn't know any.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don’t know any, but I feel like I may kick myself when some are revealed…

Yes, probably. There’s definitely a couple more I think are getable. But a few I think aren’t getable at all, including one I know some here have read.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I do enjoy going through the previous years and discovering the ones I know now that I didn't know then. For instance, I just finished reading Bel Canto.

Really surprised no one came up with #10. I thought I made it easier by using the preface but maybe not.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
The only one of those I've read was True Grit, and that was a very long time ago.

The only one I'm sure I read is We Solve Murders and I guess I forgot all about the bits that were how-to-be-an-international-criminal-mastermind although I enjoyed them when I was reading. Frankenstein makes sense now that I know it, but I was not making the connection (I have thought for years that I read it but what I actually remember of it is the cover of the paperback I found in a used book store which I am pretty sure I bought but not completely certain I read)

The only one I read was Frankenstein, which might have been as far back as high school.

Also, how TF is Richard Osman so prolific? He's already got another Thursday Murder Club, plus that one from his new series. And he hosts a game show!
