    what are your favorites in terms of English literature, Iff...?


    myself, I'm a fan of the poets of the Victorian era...

    particularly Robert Browning...


    and, even though I'm a rank amateur with only a degree in engineering,

    I had a paper on the works of Matthew Arnold accepted by the regional philological society... I'm rather proud of that...

    Hilarious!

    Hubby is not even taking the quiz and he is more competitive than me. He's over here ranting (good naturdly of course)about Iff being in first.

    Oscar Wilde would be a favourite of mine for classic english literature.
    Of english authors, i'm more into modern authors being alan warner and glen duncan

    The question I missed:

    What is the name of Nick Carter's famous little brother?

    Answer: Aaron

    so... who the hell are these guys...?

    and why should I be expected to know who they are...?

    Nice job!

    Nick Carter is from the Backstreet Boys, Aaron Carter was never a member of the band but is a solo artist in his own right.

    Note that I'm using artist in it's loosest definition. As this video demonstrates if you don't know the Backstret Boys you don't know music
