It can be like pulling teeth to even get people to say that much. "Oh, everybody knows what a long time ago means!" and "Oh, I have no idea when I could've read it! Why do you keep asking me?" (Because no, they don't all agree, and yes, I think you do have some idea if you read this book closer to 2020 or to 1980!)

And one time "Wow, that's a really stalkery question, you creep" which - buddy, knowing you read this book in the UK in the 1990s is not going to help me identify you. This information isn't classified, you're not in witness protection, just freaking give me a decade and a country.
