Question
season 2 summer storm,What is the name of the book that dylan ask brenda to give him when he is on the sofa??Season 2 anaconda,What is the name of the book that dylan is reading in brandon's room. Also i would like to say that i'm a brenda & dylan fan.I just can't believe that dylan would even go out with kelly,she was no friend to brenda.I really thought that dylan loved brenda and the would somehow work things out.I guess he really never loved brenda enough.

Answer
Hi Sara,

Well, in "Summer Storm", we never hear about the book he's reading, nor do we see it for more than a flash.  It has an orange rim and the title ends in "oy", that's about all.  

In "Anaconda", Dylan is reading "One Hundred Years of Solitude", by Gabriel García Márquez.

Thanks for the question!

All the best,

Mel

Can Dylan solve quadratic equations? What makes up a "mega-burger"? If an answer exists, I probably know it. Whether your question is general, begging the context of all 10 seasons, or completely inane, feel free to drop me a line either way. I will provide episode reference numbers for each response and plan to have some fun with this. Trivia quizzes often need correction, and publications will get their plotlines/characters/relationships mixed up too. I accept dialogue/scene requests, but please limit your inquiry to 1-2 per question. I only know music from the original broadcasts/reruns, not the DVDs. Been a fan since 1990 and didn't miss a beat.

Experience

Well, I began watching "Beverly Hills, 90210" at the tender age of 9 and a half, during its original run. By 11, I was a huge fan; 13, obsessed; 14, growing bitter. I don't like S6 - S10 as much as Seasons 1 - 5. But, technically, I still watch all of them in some way. Do this for 20 years and you'll remember the darndest things.

Education/Credentials
I'd like to say I've earned a "degree" on the life and times of the original eight, with specific concentration on Seasons 1 thru 5, any Jack McKay drama, Dylan/Kelly together or apart, and the guest stars of 1992-1994. Season 4, I think, was the best and strikingly different from any other. My only weakness might be later-season 'stand-in' characters like Matt and Noah, and the ever-changing ownerships of The AfterDark.
