Favorite books meme answers

[altivo]

Well, calydor reminded me that I should post the answers to the first lines that no one got. There were only three:

1. This is from The Pride of Chanur by C. J. Cherryh. A book with furry aliens. Or are they alien furries? Well anyway, I recommend it as well as the sequels.

8. This is Exile's Honor by Mercedes Lackey, and one of the better of her Valdemar books in my opinion. It also is the first line of the first story in Horse Fantastic, a collection of equine-related stories edited by Martin and Rosalind Greenberg, since the opening of Lackey's book appeared there as a short story.

11. Dancers of Arun by Elizabeth A. Lynn, an author who publishes very sparingly and I wish she'd do more.

Note: ruwhei did get the first and last, though she insisted that she had "cheated" so she never claimed her credits. And I'm a bit surprised that no one identified the Lackey.

Cheating means I put the quote in Google or amazon and discovered the book that way. :)

In this context, I don't really consider that cheating. As far as I'm concerned, the point of the game is to draw attention to books you think are worthy of a reading, or more than one. Any way that is achieved is fine by me.

Oh, and we're playing a slightly modified version of this over on furryreaders now. Maybe you'd like to pop by and toss in a few answers?

I probably should have known the Lackey one. Meh.

Well, only if you read the book after you got it. :)
