Lines from famous books

"Yes" I said "Isn't it pretty to think so"
This line comes from the book "The Sun Also Rises" by Ernest Hemingway who is one of the best modern day authors he's like Mark Twain in the sense that you might have not read his work but most people know who he is and what he wrote, it was written in 1926 and this book is about about a group of American & British expatriates who travel from Paris to the Festival of San Fermín in Pamplona to watch the running of the bulls and the bullfights, this book is split into 3 books each has to deal with a separate thing.this book is filled with love excitement and a few other things.
Here are links to the summary and a review from someone on this book.


"Once upon a time there was a women who discovered that she turned into the wrong person"
This line comes from the book "Back When We Were Grownups" by Anne Tyler not much is listed on the web about Anne Tyler mostly some of her work like The Clock Winder and If Morning Ever Comes.

  2. They both sound very interesting! :) Also, the year "Back When We Were Grownups" was published was 2001. Other than that, great job.
