made a public example of.

they had brought
the mission system
The Spaniard explained
did not escape the priest

Whoa, I thought, with this dry tome, it ain't gonna work, but it's actually kinda interesting.

And yes, this really is one of my favorite books. It's a getting in touch with my roots kinda thing.

Grant broke open the bale
wedged in a pipe was more like it
Hammond's plan was extremely speculative
she was fine

Grant was watching the sensors
removed the largest fragments from the sheets
Malcolm coughed
he had been spotted

Just don't tell Grant
Ellie said
crouching among the palm trees
like a mouse, would you say

Not a threat display
adjustment in the next version
Gennaro snapped his fingers
The boy was not quite so fortunate

- Jurassic Park, Micheal Crichton

No real attachment to the book more than any other, just grabbed something off my shelf. It makes less sense than any other I have read so far.

My name is John Taylor
no-one bothers you
but otherwise there's not much to choose

She had a striking face
I couldn't argue with that
I made myself say lightly
"It's going to be alright."

We collapsed together on a rain-slick street
"I killed him becuase he was my friend."
"I preserve the balance."
And none of us were a bit surprised.

from Simon R. Green's "Something From the Nightside"

Didn't seem to work too well, but then, I've never been any good at poetry.

No, that worked great!
I'll claim you lucked out (because I'm jealous) but it reads really well.

Creatures

'My Dear Smith,
What can I do?'
'Forgive me for troubling you'

My time is limited
you know.
Solon considered
and ran.
Peri was dozing.

An ape-like face,
Emperor of France,
didn't see me,
again.
Shook his head,
'Never did see,
such a thing'.

all different,
without comment,
creatures, surviving.

From Doctor Who: Warmonger, by Terrence Dicks.

Blood & Mysteries

Men bobbing slowly,
A hand on the policeman's arm;
But now it was foul.
It began to monitor the space.

A personal handle:
"Where's Sabu?"
"From the Nova?"
Stomach-deep depression -

A dozen of his comrades.
Light began to rip and twist;
Something in the top drawer,
Perhaps the world was dreaming...

Now Dr Shearsmith,
"I don't think a day passes when I don't"
Her eyelids twitching
Blood oozed from the wound.

The wire seemed to have been wrenched apart
But with a pattern
Inside the room, Holly and Vijay lay curled
Sleeping when I left her.

I love this stanza...very cool.

DanaC · 12-12-2006, 05:15 AM

Yeah.....your Doctor worked waay better than mine Sundae!

That put me in the mood for a new Doctor book.....I may have to visit the library.....

@Sundae, have you tried any of the new Dr books? The ones with David Tennant's doctor and Rose? I am soooo annoyed. They've written them with children in mind. The older Doctor books have an adult audience in mind generally, but the new ones are definately aimed at kids. Still readable, they've not totally kidded them up, but still......really annoying.
