mc5 - AVMA Take 2

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

Projoy

[Tuj] From a book? YES

Raak

One specific, individual thing?

Projoy

[Raak] Specific, individual? YES

Phil

[Projoy] It's only "sort of" a shelter for people, so I thought it might be a shelter for things, that people use. But, you could shelter one hand at a time in one :-)

Raak

Is the book science fiction?

[Raak] SF? NO.

A porch?

[Raak] Porch, NO.

A Priesthole?

(only they have them in non-fiction too, but it's all I can think of)

Projoy

[Phil] Priesthole? NOPE

Irouléguy

Is it a 20th century book?

Projoy

[Ig] C20th book? YES

CdM

Is the book set, broadly speaking, in the present day (as opposed to being obviously historical fiction or obviously set in the future)?

Projoy

[CdM] Broadly present-day, YES

Projoy

(there is a case for a NO answer, but that would be a bit obnoxious)

CdM

Are there multiple instances of this one specific thing? (I'm trying to reconcile "specific individual thing" with "not specific to one culture")

Projoy

[CdM] Multiple instances? NO (there's no especial reason there couldn't be, but only one is mentioned - there's nothing about the one instance encountered that is (particularly) specific to one culture)

CdM

Is the book set in a recognisable real location or locations?

(I'm making up for all the questions I didn't ask earlier.)

Projoy

[CdM] Real/recognisable location? NO (and YES, but mostly NO)
