yay! Stray is correct. Unfortunately MPH is not. But you did get one word right! You're a third of the way there.

The Hotel New Hampshire.

Now all we need is for someone to put all three answers in one post... (hint, hint) [Wink]

If other titles have been guessed correctly, and then you guess another, list them all in your guess! Then, if you're right, you'll have won.

Haha I don't do that because I don't want to be the one posting titles. [Razz] I like guessing.

1) Where the Red Fern Grows

2) Diary

3) The Hotel New Hampshire

I actually don't feel like I'm cheating too much. I knew the first and third immediately (as disturbing as the book is at some points, I actually really like Hotel New Hampshire, along with most of Irving's writing, "Keep passing the open windows"). Mostly, I just want to see this thread continue (even though I don't always get to check it much).

I don't so much have a theme, but here go some clues.

1. Environmental activist spends a weekend in New Hampshire, runs into a bit of trouble when his drunk, high daughter picks up something she shouldn't and much trouble ensues until the family gets a dog from the humane society.

2. Two siblings wind up in the middle of a popular bible story and have to find a way out before things get very wet.

3. A young man and his cat strike it big with a new invention and decide to have a good nap but wake up to find that they have been cheated out of money by an old girlfriend.

Yup, Many Waters is correct.

Any guesses on the other two?
