Book Meme Answers!
Apparently I read some pretty obscure books. Which doesn't surprise me because one of them I had to order special years ago. So here are the answers!
1. Pick 10 of your favorite books or series.
2. Post the first sentence of each book. (If one sentence seems too short, post two or three!)
3. Let everyone try to guess the titles and authors of your books.
-----------------------------------------------------
1: Dageus MacK. walked like a man and talked like a man, but in bed he was pure animal. (characters name hidden for the reason of not to make it too easy.) - "The Dark Highlander" by Karen Marie Moning
2: Another sliver of silvery-pale wood joined the tiny pile at Ilya Ivanovitch's feet, and the rough shape in his hand became a little more foxlike. - "Firebird" by Mercedes Lackey
3: A book on Mythology must draw from widely different sources. Twelve hundred years separate the first writers through whom the myths have come down to us from the last, and there are stories as unlike each other as "Cinderella" and "King Lear". - "Mythology" by Edith Hamilton
4: The only warning of danger I had was a disgusting wave of dead sea-creature stench. For a moment, it over-whelmed the humid, baked-pavement smell that permeated the relatively cooler air of Central Park that hot July evening. - "Restoree" by Anne McCaffrey
5: "Too many!" James shouted, and slammed the door behind him.
"What?" said Will. "The Dark is Rising" by Susan Cooper (aoi_tsuki1) Yay!
6: Farther from shore, nearer to death. - "The Merlin Effect" T.A. Barron
7: The yokai are the spookiest Japanese monsters you've never heard of, and it's high time they got their due. "Yokai Attack! The Japanese Monster Survival Guide" by Hiroko Yoda and Matt Alt (steelneko)
8: "Sailor V did it again! She's really something!" "Sailor Moon" vol 1 by Naoko Takeuchi (steelneko & golden_meliades)
9: Once when I was six years old I saw a magnificent picture in a book, called "True Stories from Nature", about the primeval forest. "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupery (steelneko)
10: King Vortigern the usurper sat upon his throne in London, when, suddenly, upon a certain day, ran in a breathless messenger, and cried aloud - "King Arthur and his Knights" Sir James Knowles
