Famous First and Last sentance.

Famous First Line:

“It was a wrong number that started it, the telephone ringing three times in the dead of the night, and the voice on the other end asking for someone he was not…”

This is the opening lie for the book City of Glass, which was published in 1985 by and autho of the name Paul Auster who lived from 1947 to now. This awuthor is also known for orhter woks, including The Man in the Dark and Moon Palace. Auster begins with a narrator revealing the habits of the central character whose name is Quinn, a man who writes mystery novels and is currently withdrawn from everyday life. The narrator describes Quinn as writing novels once a year for about six months, leaving the rest of his time to idleness. The narrator begins to provide more depth into Quinn's character as the latter assumes another person's identity, namely a private detective. When he receives a call intended for someone else, he doesn't clear up the misconception, takes the call, and becomes a part of a mystery that is similar to the plot within his own novels. It is here where Auster inserts another plot about a son's belief that his father will kill him once released from a mental institution. The couple hires Quinn to watch the father. The novel never shifts back to Quinn's regular life; instead the second plot becomes the focus of the storyline. 

I, myself have not read this book but from the summary and how New York Times spoke of it, I believe it looks like a good book. I might find myself reading it one day in the future.

Famous Last Line:

“But wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the forest, a little boy and his Bear will always be playing…”

This famous quote is from The house on Pooh Corner which was published in 1926 by the author A.A Miline who lived from 1882 to 1928. This author is also known for other works, including The Red House Mystery and Now we are Six. The story, Winnie the Pooh, is about a young boy by the name Chistopher Robin, who believes his stuff animals are all alive. In many words, Christopher Robin plays with his friends, Pooh, Piglet and many others, all in an enchanted forest. There they all end up getting into a lot of mischief. Things are never boring with Pooh.

I have read Winnie the Pooh and watched all the movies many times before. Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved the story behind Winnie the Pooh. Once upon a time I use to pretend my stuff animals could speak. I loved Winnie the Pooh so much that My room was painted with Winnie the pooh characters and I had all the stuff animals.
