The usual thing. Memes. This one is the book-and-song lines.
The books - a random sampling of the stuff in my room. Can't get to the stuff in the basement, which comprises the great majority of my library. Also, one of those books isn't actually mine.
1. Foghorns wailed from burnished-white liners and rust-scabbed freighters tethered to massive buoys.
2. "Where is he?"
Barney hopped from one foot to the other as he clambered down from the train, peering in vain through the white-faced crowds flooding eagerly to the St Austell ticket barrier. "Oh, I can't see him. Is he there?" - C
3. Look, ______ ____ wanted to say, a billion years ago there wasn't even any man, there was only a fish.
4. At the sound of sandaled feet upon stone, the Priest Rajasta raised his face from the scroll he held open on his knee.
5. "Bitte." The elderly, bearded passenger offers a pack of Capstan cigarettes to a blond young man sitting opposite him in the train compartment.
6. The sun stood midmorning high when Doyle Hardy saw the U.S. marshal approaching along the road from Fort Smith.
7. "He is very ugly," said his mother. "My brothers are all handsome, and my mother was celebrated for her beauty, and I am not, myself, unprepossessing. How is it possible that I gave birth to so repulsive a child?"
8. The Finns knew the Guardians had won. It was over.
9. "You are a kallikanzaros," she announced suddenly.
10. Martha Macnamara stood at the Pacific, her toes digging into the froth. She had come the length of the country in one day's flight, and she had trouble believing that this was a different ocean.
