So, I stole this from
sansagenda. First lines from my favorite ten books (or at least those I could think of). See if you can guess what books they are.
1)"It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen."
2)"From the crumpled bed the wife said, 'I think today's the day. Look how low I've gone.'"
3)"It was almost December, and Jonas was beginning to be frightened."
4)"My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie."
5)"It is my first morning of high school."
6)"I learn in this letter that Don Pedro of Aragon comes this night to Messina."
7) "Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board."
8) "I thought the king had more affected the Duke of Albany than Cornwall."
9) "Harry Potter was a highly unusual boy in many ways." (I know, I know, but which one?)
10)"Dad had Uncle Eddie round, so naturally they had to come and see what I was up to."
Yeah, so those are the ones I could think of.
Awesome New Computer Update: My Dell is currently in Harrisburg, and should be at my house by tomorrow! Just in time for me to get there too. Hooray!
