Ok... We do have some book worms in here

Heather, well spotted: 1 point for you
Lou, 2 points for you, and Alfie, 2 points as well...

Still nothing on the theme? Here is a summary. In red, what we already know, and in black, what is still up for grabs

1- It can hardly be a coincidence that no language on earth has ever produced the expression: "as pretty as an airport".Douglas Adams - The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul - Lou
2- Marley was dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that.Charles Dickens - A Christmas Carol - Lou
3- I returned from the city about 3 o'clock on that May afternoon, pretty well disgusted with life.
4- It was a bright cold day in April and the clocks were striking thirteen.1984 - George Orwell - David Franklin
5- The studio was filled with the rich odour of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden, there came through the open door, the heavy scent of the lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn.
6- According to the First Scroll of Wen the Eternally Surprised, Wen stepped out of the cave where he had received enlightenment and into the dawning light of the first day of the rest of his life.Thief of Time - Terry Pratchett - David Franklin
7- NOW, what I want is, Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else.Hard Times - Charles Dickens - Alfie
8- The drought had lasted now for ten million years, and the reign of the terrible lizards had long since ended.
9- "The cow is there," said Ansell, lighting a match and holding it out over the carpet. No one spoke. He waited till the end of the match fell off. Then he said again, "She is there, the cow. There, now.".The Longest Journey by E.M. Forster - Alfie
10- All children, except one, grow up.Peter Pan -J.M.Barrie - Heather
