Lord of the Flies by William Golding
By the way, I didn't like Lord of the Flies. Here's the first line of a book I really, REALLY don't like: "The Nellie , a cruising yawl, swung to her anchor without a flutter of the sails, and was at rest." Good Luck! |

I believe the quote in question comes from The Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad....just took me a while to figure it out.

This one may be a little difficult...
.Right here and now, as an old friend used to say, we are in the fluid present, where clear-sightedness never guarantees perfect vision. Good luck!

Black House by Stephen King & Peter Straub?
Here's mine: "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen."

It's from 1984 by George Orwell. And it had already been used.

Winnie the Pooh (is that the full title?) by A.A. Milne.
From my current favourite book: "If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it."

The author being J.D. Salinger.
"Marley was dead, to begin with." A pretty easy one. |
