Just name the novel or book it came from. I'll start with an easy one:

"Sucks to your auntie"

If you get it right...your the next one up.

That was easy, but even if it wasn't there's always Google. And some bastard is always going to google.

Google makes things less fun for the rest of us. Crying or Very sad

The Honour System.

Read it. Learn It. Live it-obviously a paraphrase from Fast Times At Ridgemont High.

Obviously not from a classic

Man that was quick!!!! But expected, a very easy one........you were right the first time. Conrad, "Heart of Darkness". Remember the guy's name? and it isn't Charlie Sheen Smile

And one more easy one before the next double jeopardy level....



I believe that today more than ever a book should be sought after even if it has only one great page in it. We must search for fragments, splinters, toenails, anything that has ore in it, anything that is capable of resuscitating the body and the soul.
