48. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch
of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before
us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way- in short, the period was so far like the present
period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

49. Howard Roark laughed.
50. On they went, signing "Rest Eternal," and whenever they stopped, their feet, the horses, and the gusts of wind seemed to carry on their singing. 51. At last it was evening. (Hint- for Bernie.) 52. It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. (May be dupe?) 53. You better not never tell nobody but God. |

Ick. 49 is from one of the worst novels of all time: Fountainhead. Ayn Rand sucks donkey jizz.

Yeah, those were blindingly obvious. Their titles were basically in their first line. Still not guessed: 32. Autumn had come too swiftly. 40. These are my New Year' resolutions: 1. I will help the blind across the road. 42. It was the year they finally immanentized the eschaton. 44. In a distant and secondhand set of dimensions, in an astral plane that was never meant to fly, the curling starmists waver and part... I'm starting to think these are forgotten classics. I think 44 should be the most mainstream. 32 is a children's book. 40 is just the start of a list. 42 is... strange.

55. Dog carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This city is afraid of me. I have seen its true face. |
