A farewell to memes

[ludickid]

I'm gonna be out of town for close to a week; my gal ninafarina, her Li'l' Duce, and I are visiting lovely San Francisco for the wedding of janehex and brianchurch, assorted literary fun, and a famalam vacation. So I won't be checking in for a while, and I leave you with...crappy quiz memes!

First, for rollick, the first-lines-of-novels quiz

I've only got one answer. It's one of my sweetie's favorite songs, and I've been humming it all morning.

(y) is "No Children" by the Mountain Goats.

Lyrics

k) Black Sabbath - N.I.B.

5 is V. by Thomas Pynchon. I recognize 4, I think, but can't place it.

Man, I suck at this game. The only one I recognize is #7, and not because I've read the book, just because you're the third person on my friends list to quote it.

Those lyrics are all from the same song. The Cure's Felchin' It!. Good song.
