Shaggai Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Only a monstrumologist would identify death as the only true cure-all. -The Monstrumologist No, this does not describe me at all. 100% fiction. Totally has nothing to do with my life or my job or the fact I spend my spare time looking up how to dispose of corpses. What's your job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terisen Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Let's try this again, this time with MSDN Magazine (technically not a book, but the closest thing next to me). "Using IIS to host ASP.NET web applications has been the de facto standard for more than a decade." Oddly enough, this actually might describe me fairly well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 From the Forever Hero Trilogy "Gerswin tagged along behind Lieutenants G'Maine and Swabo as the three of them trooped between the consoles toward the major." I guess I'll be in the military??? I'll have to try again later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobold King Posted July 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Enough time has passed so I finally tried this again. AND STORM IT ANOTHER KID'S NATURE BOOK. "Raptor Pack", a 'Step Into Reading' book by Robert Bakker. Ahem, "'Wyoming-raptor' had spent months, maybe even years, dragging in prey bodies and eating them." 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a fearsome predator, as cunning as I am elusive. Also, there's this thing called camouflage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggai Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Watch me? I am a fearsome predator, as cunning as I am elusive. Also, there's this thing called camouflage... I can see that text without highlighting it. Just barely, and I can't read it, but I can tell it's there. I don't think you're as skilled at camouflage as you think.

Left Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 So here's two from The Dragon Bone Chair, and the Stone of Farewell. "So I will try and make the story a little shorter lad." "He called out, as he often did in such horrible dreams, but no sound came out." So......I'm going to die a early death.....Probably in a really scary way........I need protection from the List please............. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 "Redd's creations might have been undone, but her influence on society was still noticeable." -Seeing Redd, Page 45. Apparently I'm the Red Queen, gone but still hanging around in the form of past evils. Huh. Get funny glasses too. .-Homestuck, Page 45. Uhh....I have no idea. I really should have expected this. It should be worth noting that for a moment I got mixed up, and posted the quote from page 15 which is: "SQUAWK LIKE AN IMBECILE, AND ---- ON YOUR DESK", which makes this current command a significant improvement over the old one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrono Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 "Then there was the girl." From the Rithmatist. Well, at least it got my gender right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmingly Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 I like it, Chrono. Concise and understated. "There is a deep irony in Trush's work, and it lies in the fact that he lives in Russia, a country where many people will tell you that it's impossible to live without breaking the law." The Tiger, by John Vallant Hmmm... As I am not (yet) Russian nor in the practice of breaking laws casually, this worries me. Let's move one book over on the shelf. "And she said that if I sat an A level I would have to have a member of the staff looking after me on my own in a separate room." The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, Mark Haddon. I don't even know. "For each, the past obeys, as shadows must." The Devil Delivered, Steven Erikson. Now that's more like it. Vague, dark, and awesome. I'll take it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 "We were loved, once." The Way of Kings, page 15. I got lucky and landed myself an epigraph. ...Or so I thought, until I realized every single epigraph in the first part of that book is something somebody screamed while they died. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistdork Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 "Like he says, he's a dwarf." - The Fifth Elephant, Terry Pratchett *sigh* It would be a book that calls me short. So rude.

SmurfAquamarineBodies Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 "He was uneducated but canny." Silverthorn by Raymond E Feist. Hmm. Correct enough, in it's own fashion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Jerric Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Nearest book to me when I first read this was a self-published micro-story collection. "A phone rings." A little bit plain. Unless I can use the title of the piece instead: Death's Honeymoon is Apparently Over Let's try some other nearest books. "But I thought it was right, Elinor," said Marianne, "to be guided wholly by the opinion of other people." Don't think that one is very fitting for me either. Try again? "Maybe I expect too much." Now that is ironic. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunnyburn Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 "He said I was seeing shadows." Eye of the World paperback. Does that mean my life is a lie? Or should I keep watch for halfmen? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobold King Posted August 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Does that mean my life is a lie? Or should I keep watch for halfmen? If you don't already spend your life pondering those two questions, you're living your life wrong. "The horsemen were jostling each other for the better line, laughing, competing to see who would hack the child" (The Black Prism, Brent Weeks) I'm more scared of you than I care to admit right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 "I'm afraid my friend's attitude moved him to bring an early end to his own sea voyage." Red Seas Under Red Skies, page 45. I don't actually have a friend who can drive people off their paths and into random cities for hope of escape. My friends, however, will all tell you that I can do this well enough to make up for their incompetence, so I guess it fits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightsworn Panda Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 (Hmm, thought the Panda. This looks interesting. Maybe I should give it a try, he thinks.) (The closest book to the Panda was once-900-now-15-paged book that had fallen apart. Discarding it due to the lack of pages, the Panda selected the second closest book.) "You also quickly realize that none of the maps you have ever seen of the solar system was drawn remotely to scale." Bill Bryson, A Short History to Nearly Everything (Huh, though the Panda. That doesn't exactly sum up my life. So the Panda went and chose a second book, making a short detour to grab some bamboo.) "Light, but he hated not knowing" Robert Jordan, Lord of Chaos, 6th book in the Wheel of TIme series. (I'm doing a re-read) (Well, thought the Panda as he sadly munched his bamboo, that sadly sums my life up.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
