We wordies - wordsmiths implies a level I don't think we've reached - have our fascinations, don't we?

Jason has on more than one post shared his fondness for poetry and issued a challenge.

I'm more of a compulsive Text Twist player and Jeopardy! viewer.

In fact, our family habit is to eat dinner while watching the quiz show.

Last night's show featured a category called Word-by-Word Book Summaries.

Among the answers was:
Paris.
Mega-scoliosis.
Ding-dong.
Gypsy.
Death.
Fin

Question: What is The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Check out all the questions and answers at this fabulous Jeopardy! archive.

So I thought I'd try a few myself.

How about:

Plantations.
War.
Lovestruck.
Passion.
Survivor.
Land.

Or:
Wartime.
Sisters.
Struggles.
Loves.
Maturity.
Bonds.

Care to give it a shot, Jason?
