Are you looking for something? Book, tv series, film, painting, music?

Do you remember part of the plot, but cannot remind yourself the title? /what was on a picture, but you can't remind yourself an author?

You look for a gift for someone and you know what kinds of books they read, but have no idea what to buy?

Do you look for particular motif?

Or for something similar to what you've seen/read/listened to?

Ask a question and let the forum find the answer.



Thought it could be a useful thread

I will start

Anything with elephants?...

I've seen Elephant, Water for Elephants before.
Now the slight obsession started with reading about their customs and watching À bout de souffle. I read The Elephant Vanishes afterwards and I plan to watch The Elephant Man .

The elephant doesn't need to be part of the title obviously, it can only be mentioned or be an element of the plot.

this is a children's book, but it is about an elephant... i really liked it when i was a kid... i am trying to recall the name of this one about a tightrope walker... he starts off working with elephants... so far no luck, but when it comes to me i will let you know...

post script: if she reads too slowly for you there is a version of this that ends in under four minutes, but the woman's reading voice is much less "practiced"...

Thank you for the story
I laughed when there was a phrase 'you know who', that's what Harry Potter made with me.
