Guess the Book Title

I'm on my so called "smart" phone and it likes to autocorrect words I type.

I know I can turn the function off, but when I write in Japanese, it fills out the correct kanji (Chinese characters) for me perfectly each time which is easier than me filtering through till I find them. I don't understand how Japanese with three distinct writing systems can nail autoword every time but English with its 26 letters will always manage to go horribly awry?

 

Uh-oh. I got the answer, but I'm totally insecure about coming up with a puzzle of my own.

Oh well. Lord Arthur Savile's Crimes by Oscar Wilde.

 

I am pretty fluent in auto-correct, thanks to me ex-wife (curse her to the darkest depth of hell)
Though that is strange how it can perfect with Japanese and not English.

 

How arrogant am I? So arrogant that I post my own puzzle even before my answer is confirmed as correct. (Read also: how insecure about this sort of thing am I? So insecure that I can't handle the torture of having to wait before embarrassing myself)

Anyway...

 

Call of the Wild

Call to Nature

 

Call of the Wild!

Thank you, Jesus, I am OUT.

 

Yeah, nailed it

Haha

 

You are most welcome madam Bay.

(they will never guess it)

 

Mindhunter?
John Douglas and Mark Olshaker

 

Yeppers. I should have tried something harder...Your Go Sir

 

Um, just to remind people, the OP said "don't get too obscure." I think some of these are pretty darned obscure (to an old fart like me). I've never heard of Mindhunter or either of its authors. Are they important and well-known? Or am I so darned out of touch that I don't recognize literature any more?

I think I'll just quit while I'm behind. The future belongs to the Mindhunters, I guess.

 

Dunno how hard this will be:

 

To be completely honest, I'd never heard of Mindhunter or its authors either, it was just a very easy good clue.

 

And I have never read Call of the Wild, but got out a lucky guess...

 

American War?
U.S. and Vietnam?
American Map and Men in Canoes With Guns?
American Tourists Meet Vietnamese Guerrillas?

...yeah, I got nothing. Yet.

 

American Guerrilla?

 

American Sniper? (was it a book before the movie?)

 

Yes, it was, and if that's the answer I'm going to bang my head on my desk lol

 

Nope, the "America" bit is off. What does such a map signify? What would you use such a map to plan?

 

Hanoy Hilton?

Vacation Vietnam?

Touring Vietnam?

 

Good Morning, Vietnam? ....or was that just a movie?

 

War and Peace?

 

I doubt it...but gotta throw it out there just in case...The Things They Carried?

This is driving me crazy, lol.

 

And I thought I was a pain in the ass using Conquerors Pride.
