Saw this on marinshellstone's journal. Looked like something to keep me occupied for a half-hour or so.

1. Choose 12 books that you like.
2. Write down the first sentence or so of each of those books.
3. Let other people try to figure out the titles.
4. Cross off books as they are guessed, let us know the correct answers and who guessed them.

11: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

[nleseul]

Yeah.

[seirai]

Is 2 L'etranger by Albert Camus?
And 8 can only be A Game of Thrones.

[nleseul]

That's not 2, no.

[seirai]

The opening line of The Stranger is pretty famously not about being hanged, but I do love the idea of somebody mistaking Terry Pratchett for serious post-modern literature.

[seirai]

Yeah, I remembered what the actual first line was a couple hours later. Oops.

I believe #5 is Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake.

[nleseul]

That it is.

[marinshellstone]

#4 is Kushiel's Dart and there are so many others I feel I recognize but just can't place!!!

[nleseul]

It is a little bit like cheating if you had it on your own list, though. ;-)

[marinshellstone]

it is, isn't it??? ;)
