Athena Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Is the author from a country where English is not the first language? (Dantes sounds not like an English name) Quote
Vimes Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Yes I believe that he was French and his works where published around 1820's and 1860's . Quote
Jeckyll Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas? Quote
Jeckyll Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Great! Here is my quote: " How then did it work out, all this? How did one judge people, think of them? How did one add up this and that and conclude that it was liking one felt or disliking? And to those words, what meaning attached, after all? " Quote
Jeckyll Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 No. She was born, more or less, one hundred years later than Jane Austen Quote
Vimes Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Ok I asked someone who has read more books than me and they knew the book is it To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf? Quote
Vimes Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 Ok here's my quote "At this slower pace the journey took a couple of days, and I fought off a few minor threats along the way --griffins, carnivorous plants, giant serpents, hostile centaurs, that sort of thing, purely routine --and I was beginning to get bored when at last the dusky towers of Castle Roogna hove into view."

Athena Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 The only fantasy / humour that comes to mind, is written by Terry Pratchett. Is he the author or is it someone else? Quote
Vimes Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 No not Pratchett but the Author is another very well known and prolific writer (the series the quote is from is at about 28 books, (that I know of).) Quote
Athena Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 American? If he's very famous I feel I must've at least heard of him, so hopefully with some more questions I'll find the answer. Quote
