WAAAAAAAAAAAA...

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNGGLLLLEEEEEEE!This is what four days of non-stop school, homework, and housework will do to a fourteen-year-old mind.Anyway. What about that book meme thing? I picked these books off the shelf with my eyes closed, except for #2, #5, and #9, which are my favourite books, and not to be left to chance. These are mainly children's books, because those are the memories that I keep in my room, away from the idle hands of the ever-present cousins. So:1.) All children, except one, grow up.2.) There were four of us-- George, and William Samuel Harris, and myself, and Montmorency.3.) My father and mother should have stayed in New York where they met and married and where I was born.4.) That fool of a fairy Lucinda did not intend to lay a curse on me.5.) Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once of twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, 'and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice, 'without pictures or conversation?'6.)Once upon a time, in the province of Westphalia, at the castle of his lordship the Baron von Thunder-ten-Tronckh, there lived a boy of very sweet disposition.7.) In Poland's deepest autumn, a tall young man in an expensive overcoat, double-breasted dinner jacket beneath it and-- in the lapel of the dinner jacket-- a large ornamental gold-on-black-enamel Hakenkreuz (swastika) emerged from a fashionable apartment building in Straszewskiego Street, on the edge of the ancient center of Cracow, and saw his chauffeur waiting with fuming breath by the open door of an enormous and, even in this blackened world, lustrous Adler limousine.8.) If you are interested in stories with happy endings, you would be better off reading some other book.9.) This is Valoroso XXIV, King of Paflagonia, seated with his Queen and only child at their royal breakfast-table, and receiving the letter which announces to His Majesty a proposed visit from Prince Bulbo, heir of Padella, reigning King of Crim Tartary.10.) In fairy-tales, witches always wear silly black hats and black cloaks, and they ride on broomsticks.Juniatha
