But some memorable lines, from books and stories I like. I'm working from memory, so this is more "writing that stuck with me" than favorite books.

"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit."
"Seventy-two years, and she had never had time to learn what they were called."
"Sing, Goddess, of the destructive wrath of Peleus's son Achilleus..."
"to wound the autumnal city."
"When shall we three meet again, in thunder, lightning, or in rain?"

Enough. Now I want to start flipping madly through books looking for favorite scenes: Elizabeth Bennett's faceoff with Darcy's aunt, lots of random bits of Le Guin, maybe some Dr. Seuss or something. And I'm not quite sure how Dhalgren snuck in there.
