#8-- A Fine and Private Place, Peter S Beagle.

OMG-- #3- Archy and Mehitabel? Took me a while to come up with teh name.

[skippyclese]

Right on both of them! And here I figured that those would be two of the harder ones.

A Fine and Private Place is an old favorite. Archy and Mehitabel.... well, that one came from the dark recesses of my memory somewhere! I don't specifically remember reading it, but cockroaches aren't all that common in literature. Sort of up there with Rhinoceroses. Which I also loved. Do I sense a theme coming on here?

[skippyclese]

I considered both An otter's Tale and Make way for Ducklings...

#2 - Moon is a Harsh Mistress?
#5 - Sense and Sensibility
#10 - Mrs. Frsiby and the Rats of NIMH

[skippyclese]

Right on all three. I should have known you would get #2. ;-)

3. Metamorphosis, Kafka

4. The Horse and His Boy, CS Lewis

5. Sense and Sensibility, Jane Austen

6. The Blue Sword, Robin McKinley

9. Mrs Frisbee and the Rats of Nimh?

10. Ullyses by James Joyce? or is it Tropic of Cancer?

[skippyclese]

4,5,6,9, and 10 are right (10 is Ulysses).

#3 wrong. (and almost diametrically opposed in tone to what it really is, too.) I think theres a copy of Metamorphosis around here somewhere, if I can find it I'll post the first line just for contrast. I'm definately not a Kafka fan though, much too dark for my tastes.

Wow, it's been too long since I've read The Blue Sword.

[skippyclese]

I've never been able to decide which I like better, The Blue Sword or The Hero and the Crown. I picked The Blue Sword because I found it on the shelf first. (Note to self, organise bookshelves. Again.)
