1) It; Stephen King
5) A Prayer for Owen Meany ; John Irving (the part that makes me cry is the line about how you don't lose someone all at once when they die; you lose them in little pieces)...

I know I know #7 and #11; but they are not coming to me now...

I am VERY proud of you!!!!!

yay! :)

Nevermind; I remembered #11- The Chosen; Chaim Potok.

(I was going to guess A Separate Peace by John Knowles but I knew that wasn't right. And that was Finny; not Danny. But still a **nny name).......

#1 immediately brought to mind Stephen King's "It".

Yep!!!

woohoo! I can't even believe I recognized it. It's been so long since I read that. None of the others rang a bell though.

It's been a long time since I read it too.

I probably wouldn't have recognized it.

I probably would have not known any of the quotes....I mean if I hadn't been the one to copy them.
