The Big Easy (movie)

Make It Easy on Yourself (song by Jerry Butler?

Un dimanche après-midi à l'Île de la Grande Jatte (painting, Georges Seurat)

Big Blue Plymouth (song, David Byrne & Brian Eno)

Edited by: Liiisa (forgot I was supposed to be doing "Big," not "Great" after lapsing into French there)

Ile of Ladies (15th century poem counted among the Chaucer apocrypha).

On the Isle of May (Vera Lynn song)

apocrypha is a very hard word to spell after a couple of glasses of wine. It still looks wrong.

The Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency (boring detective stories by Alexander McCall Smith)

Barenaked Ladies (band)

Cherish the Ladies (band)

Ladies and Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones (movie)

I've avoided the McCall Smith books because I have an attitude about all these novels with the very long cute titles these days.
& laughing @ Vinny trying to spell "apocrypha" PUI.

Well, Liiisa, keep avoiding them. I read one or two because I found them at the library and figured they might be interesting because they take place in Botswana. But no, just boring. I haven't read that Potato Peel Society or whatever.

I read the first of the No. 1 Cute Long Title Agency books and the thought occurred to me that I wanted to read one of his books that didn't have an African lead character to see if they were all so -- I think some people would say charmingly naive but it comes awfully close to "stupid". I'm inclined to call racism unless all his books' characters are like this. I still wouldn't like them, even so.

Like a Rolling Stone (Dylan song)

The Rolling Road (G.K. Chesterton poem)

The Rolling Road

I tried one book by him (also from the library) that wasn't a cute agency long title book, but gave up after about 15 pages. it was just crappy.

The Stone Diaries (book by Carol Shields)

Sly and the Family Stone (band from 1970s)

Stone Roses (group)

Stone Innocent Frankenstein (song)

Phranc (musician)

Frank N. Furter (character, Rocky Horror)

Thank you all for reinforcing my sense of foreboding about these things. I'm also avoiding "The Guernsey Something Something Something Something Something Something Something Something Potato" book, unless someone can give me a good reason why not. </rant>
