First line: "My father's family name being Pirrip, and my Christian name Phillip, my infant tongue could make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip. So I called myself Pip, and came to be called Pip."

Great Expectations. This book was written by Charles Dickens, as was "Oliver Twist". The book is about growing up poor and becoming rich under false pretenses. It is interpretive with escape features. The plot is really good, and it also makes you think.

Last line: "Aunt Sally wants to adopt me and make me live in a house and be civilized. I tried it before and I can't stand it!"

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Written by Mark Twain as a sequel to "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", it is a coming of age story of a confused little boy. Mark Twain wrote a lot about life in the South during the Civil War era.

You might have read this when you were younger, depending on your age. First line: "I won Dribble at Jimmy Fargo's birthday party. All the other guys go to take home goldfish in little plastic bags..."

Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. Written by Judy Blume, a writer of mainly children's books. This book is all about a boy who is trying to grow up, despite attempts by his mother and brother to keep him a child.

First line: "The note was there, lying beside her plate when she came down to breakfast. Later, when she thought back, Julie would remember it. Small. Plain. Her name and address hand- lettered in stark black print across the front of the envelope."

I Know What You Did Last Summer. Written by Lois Duncan... It was made into a movie. Personally, I think the movie was better, which is rare for me...

My favorite book of the quiz. Last line: "Who knows but that, on the lower frequencies, I speak for you."

Invisible Man. Written by Ralph Ellison, who was named after Ralph Waldo Emerson, prominent transcendentalist poet and essayist. Ellison also penned the book "Juneteenth".

"... We had an eater, a biter, and a crier."

Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. This quote was used to describe the birthday party of a small, yet VERY annoying little boy and his friends.

"We dined on these occasions in the kitchen, and adjourned, for the nuts and oranges and apples, to the parlour; which was a change very like Joe's change from his working clothes to his Sunday dress."

Great Expectations. This book was very interesting. If anyone ever needs a good read, you should find this classic. Most classics are a tad boring (bad me), but this one is really good.

"'He knew the worst thing for me would be to stay alive in a world without you.'"

I Know What You Did Last Summer. This quote was also in the movie. But who cares, since everyone knew there would be a sequel with much more gore anyway.

"Then by the light of the smoke- sputtering doll I opened a folded page. It was the anonymous letter, which bruned so quickly that as it flamed I hurriedly unfolded another."

Invisible Man. This book was also very good. It is not science fiction, it is about a man who is invisible because society refuses to see him. If you like insightful books, try this one.

Last question: "The two men went off into another room. I flattened myself against the wall as they passed by me in the darkness, then I followed them to the other room. I put my ear against the wall and listened."

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is actually not a bad book, but it is really slow. It is kinda written in real time. I feel that it could have been a lot shorter for everything that happened. But if it were, it might not be so interpretive...
