Where the heck is my book?
OK, this may possibly be the weirdest thread ever.
I lost my book in a big messy mansion, and I've been looking for it for over 5
hours.
Now based on the thesis that many brains are better that one, even if the other brains don't actually know what exactly they're thinking about, I'm making this post.
I feel like I'm going over the same places over and over again. I lost the book between reading on the sofa, watching tv in the basement, and eating in the dining room.
Anyone just throw out any random suggestion where it might be, cause everything I can think of is futile - even if it's just "mr brown, in the ballroom, with the candlestick"
If it helps your brainwaves, it's a Terry Pratchett novel. If this thing works, telepathy has been proven.
Thanks
EDIT: 9 views, no answer - don't be hesitant, just say anything!

I remember my mother walking around looking for something lost, saying...."Nothing is lost in the eyes of God". You'd think a flag or something would pop up....never happened.
Were you alone when this happened? Someone could have moved the book anywhere. Check the trash cans, any book shelves, on top of the fridge. But mostly...retrace your actions in your mind. It's somewhere...

I still bet it was in the couch.
We had a couch were there was basically an open slot between the back and the bottom, and anything that went back between the back and bottom cushions would be out of site. One day, I turned the couch upside down and found 3 paperback books, several dog toys, lots of change, and a pair of pliers.

I did check the fridge though, along with every other imaginable, and unimaginable place.
As for the 1 quid price, you can't get em used here in Germany either... but luckily I've got relatives in England
I set my little cousins (it was their house) a reward of 1$.... I will have bought the book again by then probably, but just for the sake of it being found.
