Procrastination in the form of a book meme
Yanked from carpet_diemon

1. List the first line(s) of 10 books you really like.
2. And then your friends all can guess the book.
3. Post your opinion of the book when someone guessed it.



1. It was 7 minutes after midnight. The dog was lying on the grass in the middle of the lawn in front of Mrs Shear's house. (Gave you 2, 1st one was too short lol)

2. Dear friend, I am writing to you because she said you listen and understand and didn't try to sleep with that person at that party even though you could have.

3. The following book, of which I am not so much the author as compiler, originates with the being whose picture appears on the frontpiece.

4. (I ignored the prologue, because the first few lines would have been impossible to guess at all).
The woman smiled so politely that he felt offended.

5. When I was little, my uncle Pete had a necktie with a porcupine painted on it.
Guessed by alwaysasnapefan.
Mini review: There were many reasons why I enjoyed this particular book.
1. I wasn't expecting to like it, I'd just picked it up for the hell of it.
2. I thought the style was unique. I loved the way it was written. Quite a few of my favourite books are written in a similar, slightly crazy, most definately different, style. It matches my brain.
3. I fell in love with Stargirl. srsly.
...I think I'm going to go read this again now...

6. ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE is scrawled in blood red lettering on the side of the Chemical Bank near the corner of Eleventh and First and is in print large enough to be seen from the backseat of the cab as it lurches forward in the traffic leaving Wall Street and just as Timothy Price notices the words, a bus pulls up, the advertisement for Les Miserables on its side blocking his view, but Price who is with Pierce & Price and twenty-six doesn't seem to care because he tells the driver he will give him five dollars to turn up the radio, "Be My Baby" on WYNN, and the driver , black, not American, does so.
(BLOODY HELL THAT WAS LONG!!!!)

7. Dr. McCoy had one thought in his mind: Spock must be spared this!

8. (Ignored prologue again)
Spike stood on the deck of the Aberdeen, cigarette clenched between his lips, and leaned perhaps too much against the rail.

9. THE AFTERNOON MARNIE came to Torcurra, the villagers were whipping the devils out of a mad boy.

10. BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE, the FBI section that deals with serial murder, is on the bottom floor of th Academy building at Quantico, half-buried in the earth.




Go forth and guess my minions.
