Also 8/15, which the test assures me is a swell score. I got one right because I thought "That sounds like Virginia Woolf, it can't be Hemingway". It was not Virginia Woolf, but it was also not Hemingway, so go me.
I-I'm just taking things without paying for th... In what twisted dictionary is that stealing?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
12 out of 15. If the sentence had any personality at all, I picked children's book. t /not a Hemingway fan

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
14 out of 15. I think my favorite part was the little Papa Bear graphic.

Do I want to cancel my amazon pre-order of Prince Lestat and special-order a copy from the NOLA bookstore that will have autographed editions? I am dithering.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
