They come in various sizes - that yellow blue book has 8 wide-ruled blank pages and is probably the equivalent of 3 sheets of regular 3-ring binder notebook paper. College students who hate essay exams (and most do) break out in the proverbial cold sweat when they hear the phrase "bring a blue book."Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18359007443116549436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44229776106220748.post-15066833207038127052011-07-15T00:18:35.294-04:002011-07-15T00:18:35.294-04:00Jesusfuckingchrist, I must be old, I have no idea ...Jesusfuckingchrist, I must be old, I have no idea what a blue book is.<br /><br />But I'm reading a great novel, I KNOW THAT THIS MUCH IS TRUE, by Wally Lamb.BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44229776106220748.post-37715759102692145712011-07-14T12:54:00.933-04:002011-07-14T12:54:00.933-04:00I remember "blue books"- in college we h...I remember "blue books"- in college we had them. I remember for our final exam in Shakespeare we had ONE question - to explain Shakespeare's humanism in his writing. I managed to B.S. my way through a whole blue book without quite knowing what the question meant and got a B.
