Don't cha think it's really cool when authors put the title of their books inside the story of their books? I think it's really neat. I was reading "Bruised" by Sarah Skilton and, I don't remember the whole quote, but the main character mentioned something about feeling dead and her boyfriend told her that she was just bruised which is good because that means you are still alive. How cool is that?!
My favorite is the line from Catcher In The Rye:
“Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
It always gives me the shivers. It's a perfect image. I'm not a huge Salinger fan, but The Catcher in the Rye was a really good book. Do you have any have book quotes/titles?
