[Adam_S]

Middlemarch - George Eliot

I knew the Camus one, but then I've had it assigned twice in the last four years, but on the other hand, I'd have not gotten it without the hint.

I think this one is pretty easy.

 

[Michael Reuben]

Adam_S got it!

M.

 

[JohnRice]

I'm ready to play...

Adam's quote is from Dune. Finally a book I've read. (shut up Steve, I don't care)


I'll be back with one soon. I have to find the one I am looking for. Might take a few minutes.

 

[JohnRice]

I'm hoping this one is a little easier to deduce than the others...


After a while, tomorrow morning maybe, I'll reveal the first name of the person being talked about if nobody has gotten it yet.

 

[Michael Reuben]

If the name is "Lolita", that would give away the answer. But I'll guess it anyway.

M.

 

[JohnRice]

Heh. Great guess, but no.

 

[Adam_S]

The Virgin Suicides?

 

[JohnRice]

Nope

 

[SteveGon]

Damn, my own thread and I suck.

 

[JohnRice]

OK, maybe this one isn't easier. I updated the quote to include the name of the person being referred to, which is Helen.

 

[george kaplan]

Helen Keller?

 

[JohnRice]

You fell for it. Sorry, that's not it.

 

[JohnRice]

That is the title character referring to her good friend Helen Burns at the Lowood School, and the title character is, Jane Eyre.


I'll be back in a few with a new quote. This time it will be from a short story, just to let everyone know.

 

[JohnRice]

This is a long one. Remember, it is from a short story.



If nobody gets this one, I promise I'll post one tomorrow that someone will get.

 

[george kaplan]

I don't think you guys understand what the word "easy" means.

An easy one would be something like "I do not like them, Sam I am."

 

[Matthias Wolf]

Sounds like John Cheever, but it has been ages since I read some of his stories and not being a native English speaker, I cheated to find the story it belongs to:
Goodbye, My Brother

 

[JohnRice]

Matthias is correct about it being John Cheever. I guess I'll go ahead and post an "easy" one to replace it, since the author of the current one is revealed. Give me a few.

BTW, it was John Cheever's Goodbye, My Brother.

 

[JohnRice]

Ok, this is about as easy as I dare go.




I have added some. This is so freaking easy now, someone please get it.

 

[JohnRice]

Nobody? If I make it any easier than this, I don't know what is the point.

 

[JohnRice]

OK, I've added some to the quote, skipping a couple lines that would completely give it away. Someone has to get it now.
