Maithanet Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I found this Toast article pretty amusing. The premise is books, badly summarized by someone who didn't bother to really read the book. IMO, the best were: “A backpack, a sleeping bag, a canteen, a shaving kit, some food, a gun, and some ammunition. And an extra pair of boots, in case something happens to my boots. Well, that’s pretty much it, fellas. Everything you’ll need to carry for Vietnam.”– The Things They Carried “I think the yellow wallpaper looks best,” she said.“How right you are.”They were always happy afterwards that they had chosen the yellow wallpaper. It looked so much better than the green had.– The Yellow WallpaperI figured this might be a good thread for the forum, given the multitude of Fantasy and Sci-Fi Novels with outlandish names. Why did I become a magician? Mostly for the respect you can get from the audience, not to mention the fame. - The Prestige His castle was truly impervious to any attack. He found it be to quite safe. - The Man in the High Castle Going into battle is the only way to become a hero, and this battle had more than it's fair share. - The HeroesIsn't that the sequel to The Road, where we found out that dragons caused the apocalypse? - The Dragon's Path Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay attention, there could be criminals on the loose. -Watchmen Ocean currents are typically called by the direction toward which they are traveling. Conversely, winds are called by the direction of their origin, so a sea breeze or onshore breeze is one that blows from the ocean toward the land, usually due to unequal heating of land and water during the day. -The Name of the Wind The ocean is vast. Vast, and full of biodiversity. Many are the schools of fishes, and many are the games the fishes play. Water polo is a particular favorite sport. Each fish keeps to its own variety and they do not play well with others. There is a league for the mackerel and a league for the halibut and even a league for the lamprey, because no one else can stand looking at those disgusting jawless types. -20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
