My wife got me the coolest book/calendar!

[ubiquiti]

She knows I'm a big fan of fiction...

And I think this is one of the coolest ideas.

 

 

It is essentially a collection of events that occurred in fictional literature/movies with dates and sometimes years put to them and put in the calendar as say, Easter would be i na real calendar.

Example -

June 22 - Marie Roget is last seen alive.

The Mystery of Marie Roget, Edgar Allan Poe

[FlyingDonut]

what happened on the following dates:

 

February 2

February 17

June 5

August 9

August 16

 

thanks!

What about March 9, 1982 ?

 

I figured that I better ask now before you get annoyed after multiple requests

[ubiquiti]

It's not year specific like that(as there is only 1 entry per day) - but on March 9:

(1936) Chief Inspector Parker Interviews Claude Amery

Thrones, Dominions, Dorothy Sayers & Jill Paton Walsh

Hey Ubi,

That's neat! Could you ask your wife where she picked this up? I'd like to have one.

[ubiquiti]

She got it at B.Dalton, but I'm sure you could get it at Amazon, or maybe even at a calendar store - now is the time to buy CHEAP calendars - and you might get lucky.
