Andy78 Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 **Is now feeling evil** In those days, when you wanted a piece of gingerbread, you gave the baker a Confederate dollar, he'd put it on the gingerbread, and cut out a piece just that size.
LJH Posted March 28, 2012 Author Posted March 28, 2012 It is summertime... Almost winter... Your turn...

sat8997 Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 “I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.”
Andy78 Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 I know it, I know it. But I'll let others have a go first.
Frostina Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 “I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.” oh oh oh!!! I know this!!! its Mary Shelly's Frankenstein! Yes?? I know it, I know it. But I'll let others have a go first.

Frostina Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Thanks Sharon! Okay: "If something is going to happen to me, I want to be there"
comicfan Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 What is it with you and books in translation? I haven't been on here in a while but I see we moved through a few books. Frosty I can count on finding something either obscure or else classical. So far I haven't had to get off my Master's degree reading list. I feel like she just went class to class. Unless I am totally mistaken it is the stranger by Camus. I know I had to read it and the intro for the translation was pages and pages long. Russian before and French now. Frosty try an English writer, and no Tintin. lol. I'll wait to see if I am correct.
LJH Posted March 29, 2012 Author Posted March 29, 2012 So right . It is the stranger ... Heeheeeee. Your turn....
Frostina Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Billions of Blue blistering barnacles! You got it! also: Tintin was written by a Belgian.. lol. sooo... go figure! You're up Wayne!
comicfan Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) Alright so I am getting away from classic literature and going modern. Lets see who if anyone has similar reading tastes. She was still wearing her green Bargain Mart employee vest over a flower-print dress. If you looked just at her body, you might think she was somebody's dumpy old grandmother-- until you looked down and realized she had rooster feet. Or you looked up and saw bronze boar tusks sticking out of the corners of her mouth. Her eyes glowed red, and her hair was a writhing nest of bright green snakes. Okay ladies and gentleman where is that from? Edited March 30, 2012 by comicfan
LJH Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 Louis clutches the pearls Around his neck and sighs .... Damned if i know! Shrugs his shoulders and walks away with tail between his legs mumbling to himself : sounds like a modern day greek tragedy oh well, maybe i will get a chance maybe next year sometime. Lol
Zombie Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) Could it be "I Was Tortured By The Pygmy Love Queen", by Jasper McCutcheon? Edited March 30, 2012 by Zombie
Andy78 Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 **Disagrees with Mr Zombie Sir** Is it from The Lost Hero, Rick Riordan
Zombie Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 **Disagrees with Mr Zombie Sir** Heheheh I've always wanted an opportunity to quote that book title (Zombies are evil, right? )
Andy78 Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Well, I don't think it's any of the Kane Chronicles. erm . . . The Lightning Thief?
comicfan Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 Nope. Two down and one to go. lol. OR how many guess do people get till we give in and tell the answer now?
Andy78 Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 The Son of Neptune? If I'm wrong this time, can I have a clue as to the title please.
