I haven’t read most of these novels, so my score was low: 12
I hope next week brings an end to my low scores. Maybe it can save my pride like it saved Borders for a few years.
I wrote a few of these questions, so:
Round One: 9 (nine points)
Round Two: 10 (or, twenty points)
Round Three: 7 (or, 21 points)
Vernor Vinge pronounces the “e” in his last name, so it rhymes with “stingy.”
[spoiler]William Gibson[/spoiler] in the 1967 CBC hippie doc (video shows only the first fifteen minutes. If you drop by some post-COVID day, I have the entire thing on tape somewhere, and the VCR still functions– or it did, the last time we tried it. Maybe I should digitize that doc).
“This is Bill, a genuine hippy…”
Good to know. These pronunciation gaffs get me when I don’t write the questions (I go and find the pronunciation when I write the question). I should have known better since I know another German author, Cornelia Funke, gets the E pronounced as well (though with a “UH” sound).
