A quote from "Watership Down":
“All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.”

Right now I'm reading a fascinating nonfiction book called Language Myths, Mysteries and Magic by Karen Stollznow. It's all about language as it relates to various types of supposed paranormal activity, from backmasking in music to speaking in tongues to people who have brain issues that make them start talking in strange accents. There's a lot to the book and I'm really enjoying it. I do plan to reread my very favorite book this summer, Watership Down by Richard Adams. It's been too long since I read it.

The only book I have in front of me right now is the language book I mentioned above, so here's a quote from it. "Cayce also claimed to read past lives and predict the future. When his predictions weren't vague, they were wrong. He said that Armageddon would happen in 1999, that the lost city of Atlantis would be found, and that 1933 would be 'a good year'--that infamous time when Adolf Hitler was appointed German chancellor, and the global economy hit rock bottom during the Great Depression." From p. 103. It gives a good idea of how the book reads. :)

I'm actually just now trying to get started on the Harry Potter series! I've seen all the movies and have heard good things about the books, so.. figured I'd try it out!
As for recommending books, I recommend the Fallen series and the Graceling series.

Not sure if it's my favorite quote of all, but I really do like this quote from Divergent by Veronica Roth - "Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.”
I just.. really like that xD

I have too many favourite books to list though :c [b]2 Tickets....[/b] Ughhh... i have a penchant for using quotes from books, or quotes in general. But one of my all time favourites is, and will still be... "There is an ecstasy that marks the summit of life, and beyond which life cannot rise. And such is the paradox of living, this ecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness that one is alive.”. As quoted from Call of The Wild, by Jack London. [b]3 Tickets...[/b] I just made a quick design... actually had fun with this though! [img]http://i.imgur.com/ZKcAZyZ.png[/img]

Name one book on your summer reading list or recommend one of your favorite books: A Wrinkle in Time


Post your favorite book quote. Remember to state the title and author of the book the quote is taken from:

"Until then I am a red balloon, a balloon tied to an anchor." - Sandra Cisneros, The House on Mango Street

@phoenix107 - Oh! I really like the Wings of Fire series too! It's really hard to find books told solely from a dragon's perspective.
