Some of my favorite books (I've read each one zillions of times) alpha by author last name:
1. The primroses were over. Toward the edge of the wood, where the ground became open and sloped down to an old fence and a brambly ditch beyond, only a few fading patches of pale yellow still showed among the dog's mercury and oak-tree roots.
2. "I've watched through his eyes. I've listened through his ears, and I tell you he's the one. Or at least as close as we're going to get."
3. It was the summer I was fourteen that I came to know ___. Everybody called him that for the obvious reason.
4. I went back to the Devon School not long ago, and found it looking oddly newer than when I was a student there fifteen years before.
5. When he was nearly thirteen, my brother ___ got his arm badly broken at the elbow.
6. Before the sun burned, before the planets formed, there were chaos and the comets.
7. When they pulled her out, she was not crying at all. Her tiny brow was wrinkled, and then her eyes grew wide.
8. Two tires fly. Two wail.
A bamboo grove, all chopped down
From it, warring songs
... is the best that ___ can do on short notice -- he's standing on the running board, gripping his Springfield with one hand and the rearview mirror with the other, so counting the syllables on his fingers is out of the question.
