New Game

Since we already have a movie quote game and, judging by some of the posts, the name game is losing its appeal, how about a book quote game. Sort of the same rules as for the movie quote one, but instead using spoken lines from any book. By spoken lines, an actual quote by a character in the book, not just a line at random from the book. Bonus if you can also name the character who said it.

Any takers?

If so, I have a fairly easy one for starters. I know that some of you here, at least, like this book, so it should not be entirely unfamiliar.

"I was terrified that he was going to die and block the run"

I'll take a stab.....Is it Watership Down? I am not familar with the quote, but it seemed appropriate....especially since that is what I am reading right now.

You got it! When Captain Holly relates the tale of the fate of the Sandleford warren.

I guess it is my turn then.

There is probably no more terrible instant of enlightenment than the one in which you discover your father is a man--with human flesh.

I got it!: "Silence of the Lambs", from the Hannibal Lecter character, before he eats his father!

:lol:

now, that´s from Dune. it´s Paul speaking about his father.

Most impressive! But I knew if anyone got it, it would be you FM.

well i read it only 7 months ago

I shall dream about a thousand pounds tonight, I know I shall!

i hope it´ll be an easy one

I know that I have heard that before! Now the task is to remember where. :P

This might be off subject, but was Watership Down a good book? What was it about. I have to read it for summer reading, and it looks kinda boring.

actually, it is quite good, though I agree that it looks dull on the surface. I'll bet you will like it. These are characters that you really end up caring about. Great read!
Just don't give up if it takes a chapter or two to grab you. And pay pretty good attention to the information that you get from Fiver along the way

I hope that you enjoy it very much

Watership Down: There is an animated movie based on it... But do read the book first!

Amen to that, Juntel
The movie is good, and fairly true to the book, but there are alterations there and some of them will be rather jarring if you see the movie first and then wonder what happened to the scene when you get to the book. And there are also a few little details that will really make no sense to you if you have not read the book (the opening scene of the movie is a fine example of this point), since they are really not explained later. I saw the movie first as a kid and there were parts that I just didn't get until I had the book in hand. Of course, then it all falls into place.

Greg, you have to read it too? Jae (i'm sure you know) has to read it also and he got me to read it again. Funny, I don't remember anything about it. It is like I am reading it for the first time. I don't understand how I could forget a book that is so great! You know, it makes me as jumpy as a rabbit....what a page turner!

I have to read it too. And technically, Jae doesn't have to read it. It's only for people in Honors English and he didn't get in . He just wants to somehow get in once he gets to high school and it would probably help if he's already read the required reading

Finished Watership Down tonight.

okey, a what about returning to topic?

i know for sure there are some fans of the book i quoted here

Opps....you are absolutely right FM.....sorry 'bout that.

Your quote sounds famliar (maybe that is because I have read it so many times since you first put it up. ). Maybe we could do with a HINT.....

:lol:

okay, hint: it´s a phantasy book

This one is driving me clean around the bend!
I KNOW that I have heard this one, and not that long ago, either, but I simply cannot drag the reference to mind. I am going to feel like a class-A boob when I hear the answer too, I just know it.
