Name That Book!

[Guest]

Lets start with rules.

11) NO GOOGLING! Please. That just ruins the fun.
2) 3 guesses per person and then can't guess again until a new quote/passage is put up.
3) Have fun!
4) if no one gets it after 4 posts, post what it is.

I'll start this little game.

Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me. - What book is this from?

[m00se4brainz]

Darn this'll be a hard game... I'll likely get it wrong.

Uh... Flora's Lot?

[Guest]

Nope.

[Kalon Ordona II]

I have no idea. Can we have a hint?
Also, can I post something for people to guess while they guess yours?

I guess I'll just do it anyway.

Save old age only. For that they had found no cure; and indeed the span of their lives had now waned to little more than that of other men, and those among them who passed the tale of five score years with vigour were grown few, save in some of the houses of purer blood.

[Guest]

you can do that.

Hint 1: There are 4 books in the series this book belongs to.

hmmm....i have no idea where that is from.

That quote is from New Moon by Stephenie Meyer. Ugh, I can't believe that I remember that. I used to love the Twilight Saga back when it was new and semi-unpopular. Now, the very thought of it and the obsessive tweens gives me a migraine. No offense to anyone who loves it though.

Here is my quote:

"A day is like a whole life. You start out doing one thing, but end up doing something else, plan to run an errand, but never get there... Your whole life has the same shape as a single day."

[Guest]

Sky wins!

Same here with the series....

[Kalon Ordona II]

Nobody knows the quote I put up? ^_^
Want a hint?

I have no idea what yours is, Harpie (can I call you Harpie?)

[Sky Harper]

You know, your quote sounds really familiar! Yes, could we get a hint, please?

And yes, you may call me Harpie. Haha.

[Kalon Ordona II]

I'll expand the quote. ^_^

...and skilled in the healing of wound and hurt, and all such sickness as east of the Sea mortal men were subject to. Save old age only. For that they had found no cure; and indeed the span of their lives had now waned to little more than that of other men, and those among them who passed the tale of five score years with vigour were grown few, save in some of the houses of purer blood. But now their art and knowledge were baffled; for there were many sick of a malady that would not be healed; and they called it the...

[Sky Harper]

Well, duh! I feel dumb now! Lord of the Rings: Return of the King? That's only one of my all-time favorite books. *Kicks self.* But funny how that little extra instantly reminded me!

[Kalon Ordona II]

Yup, that's the one! *dingdingding*

[Jorick]

"A day is like a whole life. You start out doing one thing, but end up doing something else, plan to run an errand, but never get there... Your whole life has the same shape as a single day."

Urgh, this one is really familiar but I can't recall from what exactly... I think I even recall the author. Shot in the dark time: is it from Sphere by Michael Crichton?

[Sky Harper]

No, it's not.

Hint 1: Movie

[Kalon Ordona II]

Does that mean we're guessing a line from a movie, or does it mean the book was made into a movie? Or both?

[Sky Harper]

Oh, sorry. It was made into a movie. I'm not sure if the line is in it; I haven't seen the movie in years.

[Sky Harper]

Oh, but the author you named was right...

[Jorick]

Oh, well, that narrows it down three of his books I've read that are also movies. Looks like I might win.

Is it Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton?

[Sky Harper]

Yes! I knew that might give it away, but figured he should know he got part of it right. :]

[Kalon Ordona II]

Oh wow, he wrote Jurassic Part? I'm surprised I didn't know that!

Well lessee here....

"You are a very rare person, _______ ______."

Yup, that's right, you don't get to see WHO is a very rare person. ^_^
I imagine this would be an easy one.

[Gadreille]

"You are a very rare person, Richard Cypher."

Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind?

[Jorick]

Here's another (maybe) obvious one. Bonus points if you can name the book AND the person who said it.


"Never forget who you are, for surely the world won’t. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you."

[Sky Harper]

Wasn't it said by Tyrion Lannister in A Song of Ice and Fire written by George R. R. Martin?

[Jorick]

Ehhhh, that's the series name, not the book, but I'll accept that as correct. It was in Game of Thrones, and yes it was Tyrion. You win.

Someone put up a new quote. I can't think of any good ones, haha.

[Sky Harper]

Ah, right. Sorry about that.
Okay, this one is kind of long, but not too bad:

"In each of us lie good and bad, light and dark, art and pain, choice and regret, cruelty and sacrifice. We're each of us our own chiaroscuro, our own bit of illusion fighting to emerge into something solid, something real. We've got to forgive ourselves that. I must remember to forgive myself. Because there's an awful lot of gray to work with. No one can live in the light all the time."

[Chimerical]

Ah! I know this one!

"A Great and Terrible Beauty." I have no idea who it's by.

[Gadreille]

Oh wow, he wrote Jurassic Part? I'm surprised I didn't know that!

"You are a very rare person, Richard Cypher."

Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind?

was I right?

[Sky Harper]

Ah! I know this one!

"A Great and Terrible Beauty." I have no idea who it's by.

Yes! Said by Gemma Doyle :]

[Kalon Ordona II]

Yes, you were right, Ryona!
It was indeed Wizard's First Rule, by Terry Goodkind!

Sorry you had to wait. I've been gone for a few days.

Well lessee.... how about........

This one should be reeeeeeeeeeally easy.

Die, puny human!
