"I'm a what?" Gasped Harry
"A wizard o' course," said Hagrid, sitting back down on the sofa, which groaned and sank even lower, "an' a thumpin' good' un, I'd say, once yeh've been trained up a bit. With a mum an' dad like yours, what else would yeh be? An' I reckon it's abou' time yeh read yer letter." Pg.51 of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"

My little brothers wanted to play the game. Smile Hopping Mad Smile I let my brothers pick a couple of smilies. They finished the Harry Potter book and now they're excited.

I'm sad I didn't join this forum sooner! IT sounds like fun!

This is from page 51 of "3D Game Creation" by Luke Ahearn:

"3. What types of games do you like to play? List them
4. Go through the Game Elements section and fill in the blanks pertaining to your game Idea."

I was going to do the quote from "Pay the Piper" but someone already did that.

From second closest book:

"He was training me for the Singer's part-before they blew him in two pieces and boiled him down for oil"

From DW. That book was sooo sad...

(It knows!) Kit's thought sang with alarm like a plucked string. (It knows we're here! It shouldn't be able to, but - Nita, the spell's not balanced for this. If that thing grabs us or holds us somehow, we won't be able to get back!)

(a carryover from page 50):
MALVA. Malvaceae, "mallow", "Cheeses" (from the shape of the fruit.) About 30 herbaceous species grown for their attractive flowers or for food (since about 6000 b.c.) Very easily grown in moist soils, full sun or light shade, and they may be sown where they are to flower. Germinates in 5-10 days. Seed long-lived; they have sprouted from 200 year old adobe bricks in California and Mexico. Nicking may help.

This quote sounds sooo random, it's from a book simply called "Science Projects."

"To prepare for this scene, you will need a small paring knife to cut several raisins into quarters."

quote:
...one little pause, with all its wreathed intervolutions in open sight. His face darkened with some powerful emotion, which, nevertheless, he so instantaneously controlled by an effort of his will, that, save at a single moment, its expression might have passed for calmness. After a brief space, the convulsion grew almost imperceptible, and finally subsided into the depths of his nature.


Yess, it's the Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, reading it for English!

Dude! Roger Chillingworth. That's my favorite scene in the whole book! 8)

"And if you stare at the sky too long, you just kind of blank-out--not really asleep, but, sort of, preoccupied."
"So that's what you do when you're on watch, do you? the abbot growled.
A Canticle for Leibowitz, I'm reading it for English class and it's okay, I guess. I'm not really sure what to make of it, actually. Maybe things'll be clearer once I actually finish the book; I'm only a bit less than half way through, so what exactly the author's driving at I'm not entirely sure. Oh well, as long as I pass the tests on it in class *shrugs*
