Geese and Swans in Flight

--A Field Guide to the Birds East of the Rockies, by Roger Tory Peterson

That's from one of my mom's nature books. Since I feel like quoting a fiction book, too, I'm gonna go grab the closest thing from my bookshelf.

And the line is...

All of the books close to me at work are technical.

[humanblackhole]

The closest book to me is a dictionary... "antinovel - n. a fictional work that lacks traditional elements of the novel, such as coherent plot structure or realistic character development". Sounds like fluff to me

"...wasn't like sunlight, and it wasn't like electric..." -The Chronicles of Narnia: The Magician's Nephew, C. S. Lewis

It's a great little prequel to "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" that explains how Narnia was created, where the White Witch came from, etc.

"Customizing Your Home City" -Age of Empires III User's Manual.

"Well, Nissen was right," Catherine said. "No signs"- CSI: Killing Game.

I love the CSI books. Always entertaining.

"Atomic Masses

One of the most useful concepts to come from Dalton's atomic theory is that atoms of an element have a constant, characteristic atomic mass (or atomic weight).

-Chemistry: The Study of Matter and Its Changes (Second Edition), Brady and Holum

Oh, IB chemistry, it's enough to bore anyone... especially organic chem...

Edit: not sure what "atmoic" mass is...

[Rycr]

Yeah, chem is definitely enough to bore me...

"The stars shimmered and wavered as if shivering with dread." -Robotech - The Macross Saga: Genesis, a cool sci-fi novel.

"Mr. Weasley was looking around" -- Harry potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K Rowling

Last of all, they show district 12.
From The Hunger Games. Boring line, but a great book.

but Tydeus slew every man of them, save only Maeon, whom he let go in obedience to heaven's omens.

The Iliad.


(Actually, that was the 47th page. The 46th was Tudeus men kai toisin aeikea potmon ephêke: pantas epephn, hena d' oion hiei oikon de neesthai: Maion ara proeêke theôn teraessi pithêsas.)

Ravens of Avalon

"Now all the shouting is silent and the wind plays a harp of bone"

from Marion Zimmer Bradley's Ravens of Avalon by Diana L. Paxon (latest book in series)

This was the ending of a song started on the previous page. These are really good books, (I have all of them and eagerly await the next one, due in December). MZB wrote The Mists of Avalon, as well as others, and corroborated with DP on several, and DP had Bradley's notes for the other ones, and continued with the series after Bradley's death with consent of her estate.
Highly recommended!

"Lanie," she whispered, and her eyes flicked to Katsa's once again.
-Graceling by Kristen Cashore.

Wow, not a particularly action packed line for an action packed book. Excellent novel so far (I'm in the middle of reading it), I'd highly recommend it.

[Stormwind]

Silly question. That other one must be deaf not to have heard Teleri yelling at him. And now I suppose you'll start scratching up the ground and invoking powers and ruining my collage. Well, let me tell you -)

SYWTBAW - page 46, actually first paragraph since I try to avoid one liners....
