Hey! Don't we need a new quote here? (And don't look to me, I can only read here. I don't get any of them.)

well, nobody ever got Cho's from March 3rd (which was Hesse's Peter Camenzind btw)... so I guess we declare that one closed and move on?

If the previous quote is closed:
I'll give one that is so easy, that anyone should be able to get it.
Almost as if the elements too, mourned the death of the gentle old Harper, a southeaster blew for three days, locking even the burial barge in the saftey of Dock Cavern.
Whic book is it, and by whom?

a Pern book, of course, but I don't know which one. All the Weyrs perhaps? (that's a guess)

Ghost can go ahead if he wants it
The only reason I got it was because my mind was on all the Steven King books I've read, from the discussion about It.

Oh my goodness! My first Sherlock! It's so pretty! Okay, here goes with a quote. I hope I can make the thingy work right...
It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.

1984, Eric Arthur Blair / George Orwell
tollbaby: you do know that googling is against the rules, right?
Yes I'm aware
I was still impressed.
Didn't we already do 1984 at some point?
