1) Pick 10 books (can be plays and/or books of poetry/short stories if you wish) that you consider 'must reads' or 'classics'
2) Write a small section of each in your journal (sections of around 1-10 lines)
3) Test your flists knowledge!
^_^ Okay guys, who's ready to bash their brains out? And googling is cheating D: but I'll allow a LITTLE googling. :|
I'll give extra hints if asked!
1) "Oh I could make us some people," said Adam airily. "Good enough for armies, at any rate. We could all have a quarter of the world each. Like you" - he pointed at Pepper who recoiled as though Adam's finger were a white hot poker- "could have Russia because it's red and you've got red hair right? And Wensley can have America, can have, can have Africa and Europe, an' an'-"
(Good Omens, guessed bysummerslaughter)
2) A discreet rap at the door roused Marguerite from her thoughts. It was Sir Percy Blakeney, tall, sleepy, good-humored, and wearing that half-shy, half-inane smile, which just now seemed to irritate her every nerve. (The Scarlet Pimpernel, guessed byachariya)
3) "I know a planet where there is a certain red faced gentleman. He has never smelled a flower. He has never looked at a star. He has never loved anyone. He has never done anything in his life but adds up figures. And all day he says over and over, just like you: 'I am busy with matters of consequence!' And that makes him swell up in pride. But he is not a man - he is a mushroom!"
(The Little Prince, guessed bycinoberis)
4) The street car covered Berlioz, and a round dark object was propelled under the railing of Patriarch's Ponds path onto the cobbled slope. After rolling down the slope, it began bouncing over the cobble stones of Bronnaya Street.
It was Berlioz's severed head.
(The Master and Margarita guessed bycinoberis)
5) "Really, Mr. Toohey, I owe you an apology, if, by allowing my tastes to become so well known, I have caused you to be so crude. But I had no idea that among your many other humanitarian activities you were also a pimp."
Toohey rose to his feet.
"Sorry to dissapoint you Mr. Toohey. I have no desire whatever to meet Mrs. Peter Keating."
(The Fountainhead, guessed bychachirinoda)
6) When a couple of hours had passed I heard something stirring in the Count's room, something like a sharp wail quickly suppressed; and then there was silence, deep, awful silence, which chilled me. With a beating heart, I tried the door; but I was locked in my prison, and could do nothing. I sat down and simply cried.
(Dracula, guessed bysummerslaughter)
7) The Prince groaned and rolled his hips towards me. I hastened to obey, my buttocks held up by the phallus, my own cock ready to burst. My tongue lapped at the soft, salty skin, lifting the balls and letting them slide out of my mouth, then lapping fast again trying to cover them, as the taste of the warm flesh and salt intoxicated me. The prince wiggled and danced as I licked, his extraordinary muscled legs flexing up and down as much as the space would allow. (Beauty's Punishment, guessed byredmoonmurder)
8) The minutes passed by, each seeming an hour to the unfortunate lily maid. Why didn't somebody come? Where had the girls gone? Suppose they had fainted, one and all? Suppose no one ever came! Suppose she grew so tired and cramped that she could hold on no longer! Anne looked at the wicked green depths below her, wavering with long oily shadows, and shivered. Her imagination began to suggest all manner of gruesome possibilities to her.
Then, just as she thought she really could not endure the ache in her arms and wrists another moment, Gilbert Blythe came rowing under the bridge in Harmon Andrew's dory!
(Ann of Green Gables, guessed bygekidasa)
9) Now Jonas had a thought that he had never had before. This new thought was frightening. What if others - adults- had, upon becoming Twelves, received in their instructions the same terrifying sentence?
What if they had all been instructed: You may lie?
(The Giver, guessed byna_kabaji_usu)
10) Daemon got slowly to his feet. He'd taken a tremendous risk contacting Lucivar. If they were caught communicating, a whipping would be teh least of the punishments. He wasn't worried for himself. He was too far away from Hayll for Dorothea to detect if through her primary controlling ring, and he was confident of his ability to slide around Alexandra, who wore the secondary controlling ring. But Zuultah wasn't Alexandra, and Lucivar didn't always walk cautiously.
