Dunno that one.

How about this:

Peace had settled over the city like the skin on rancid custard. Everyone wanted it, just not in that form. The forecast remained for rain, with widespread terrorism.

Not a clua about that one.

Another......but gonna put in 2 lines as the first isnt enough.

It was love at first sight. The first time Yossarian saw the chaplain he fell madly in love with him.

Catch 22

A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before, but there is nothing to compare it to now.

How is it people know the lines I put up but I dont know theirs?

Is it because they are better read than me?

Or because my books are more famous?

I'll choose the latter.

A little off topic but. an ancient manuscript has just been discovered in jerusalem purporting to be the first page of the Bible. it reads "To sadie with love"

"All character's and events portrayed in this book are fictitious any similarity to any persons living or dead is purely coincidental"

Church leaders throught the world have condemed it as a Fake

That was when I saw the pendulum. The sphere, hanging from a long wire set into the ceiling of the choir, swayed back and forth with isochronal majesty.

No idea

This is a story about a man named Eddie and it begins at the end, with Eddie dying in the sun.
