Pyter's topic gave me the idea for this little game. See if you can figure out which book and author this opening line comes from. I'll start off with a (hopefully) easy one. At least a well-known one. And it's alternative reality fiction, of course!

Is this one where whoever guesses correctly posts the next clue, or are you going to post another? Back to top Violanthe Webmaster Joined: 24 Jul 2003 Posts: 5903 Posted: Wed Jul 12, 2006 10:07 am Yes, Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, is correct (not that any of us expected that ecgordon was capable of getting this one wrong). I'll post a new one under a different topic. But folks should feel free to discuss the books when they are correctly guessed. I recently "read" this book on audio. It was one of the rare audiobooks read by the author that I found enjoyable. Usually authors read quite horribly, but Bradbury did a great job: https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0694526274/arwz-20 _________________ Violet "Violanthe" Kane [email protected] ARWZ.com: A Magazine of Alternative Reality Fiction Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First      All times are GMT - 4 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Discussion----------------Alternative Reality Caf�Writers' Zone Workshop----------------Workshop FAQ & RulesWorkshopSubmissionsWriting Exercises and Scene Starters ----------------The Marketplace Resources----------------FAQ & Online HelpLinks & Online ResourcesResearch Q&A;ARWZ Approved!  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You can vote in polls in this forum Alternative Reality Web Zine: ISSN# 1559-3037 All materials on these pages (including fiction, poetry, essays, articles, interviews and opinion pieces) are copyrighted to the original authors and may not be reproduced without permission.
