Clickbait on FB, but I was curious.

I bet you haven't read the bestselling book from the year you were born.


Terrible layout (you have to click through the years to see what yours was), but I was shocked to find that I had, indeed, read the bestselling book for the year I was born:

iirc, it was made into a movie starring Tom Tyron (sp?).

George: My screen showed your message and the first word of your book: "The" written in Gothic script.

I figured the rest of the title would be " . . . Holy Bible."

Terrible layout (you have to click through the years to see what yours was),

2 years per slide starting with 1930

The URL for 1930 is http://offbeat.topix.com/slideshow/18684/slide1

To find your year: ((your year - 1930) * 2) + 1

Example, To find 1954
(1954 - 1930) = 24
24 * 2 = 48
48 + 1 = 49

and you get http://offbeat.topix.com/slideshow/18684/slide49

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

As with most things, better than the movie.

Me too.

The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.
