(I'm also feeling that I'm using the phrase "so I'm feeling" a lot.) So I thought I'd kick it off with a couple of innocuous questions. The idea here is to narrow down your answer to one or two specific excerpts/lines/phrases (and I know, it's terribly, terribly difficult to do so!).
I'll post my answers once I get back to my books, but I really want to read what some of the new people have to say. So please! Comment away! Consider the question "and why" is attached to the end of all the questions! (It's just like high school English!) Come up with your own questions and I'll add them! This is just a starting point; let's see what we come up with!
1) What's your favorite line from the books?
(I know, I know, it's difficult. Think hard!)
2) Is/are there any particular line(s) you find yourself repeating to yourself, or that you automatically think of in certain situations?
3) Think of your favorite line by your least favorite character.
4) Is there a line that struck you differently on subsequent rereads than it did the first time you read it?
(That one's kind of hard, too. Did it change the way you viewed a character? Was it in a broader, more life-lesson-y-type sense? Did you breeze right by it the first time, and find it later and wonder how you could have possibly missed it 'cause it's the best line ever? Etc.)
5) If you could, for half a second, channel MWT's brilliance, which line would you have like to have written yourself?
Have fun! I can't wait to see what y'all come up with!
