<p>For boys add Robert Lewis Stevenson too.</p>
<p>Not just boys - Dumas runs neck and neck with Jane Austen as my daughter’s favorite author, and RLS is not far behind (I loved Kipling at her age). The son only reads stories with Marines.</p>
<p>Texas, my S1 also reads the Economist (among other things). And I have learned that if we leave it on the kitchen counter, S2 will look at it when he plops down with a bowl of ice cream.</p>
<p>Coureur- Was it you on the old CC that told us you were a five time jeopardy champ? (If yes, are you in this new tournament?)</p>
<p>I am playing in the Jeopardy tournament, but you’re going to have to guess which one is me.</p>
<p>You’ll be the one who looks like Brad Pitt, right?</p>
<p>Well Coureur, now that I’ve seen you in person, your cover is blown. I would say he’s more the Johnny Depp type than the Brad Pitt type SBmom.</p>
<p>I’ve never seen anyone of the Brad Pitt type or the Johnny Depp type win anything on Jeopardy. Actually, I kinda blend right in with the majority of Jeopardy champions: nerdy, white, middle-aged male.</p>
<p>When will you know if you’re actually going to be on the show?</p>
<p>Johnny Depp! That’s it, carolyn! Coureur - when is the tournament/when is it televised? I’ll recognize you too. Has anybody had those cc party sweatshirts made up? Quick, send one to coureur.</p>
<p>The tournament has started and I think will go on for months, culminating with the two top performers taking on Ken Jennings.</p>
