The Challenge Factory discussion

It’s time to play TCF's Hangman.

This is an ongoing game that anyone can play. Jump in at any time to request a letter.

To see if a letter is in the quote, use the first word of the title (you can use or ignore 'a', 'an', 'the') or author's first or last name of the book that you just finished reading (within 24 hours) for the letter that you’d like to guess.

examples:
to ask for a B - The Beekeeper's Apprentice
to ask for a J - a book by J.K. Rowling
to ask for a W - a book by Scott Westerfeld
to ask for a F - 44 Scotland Street
For anthologies, go by the editor's name.


No page limit.
Re-reads are okay.
The book you use to make a guess has to been finished within 24 hours of your guess.

You have to have asked for at least one letter in order to make a guess at the quote. Please put your solution in a separate post.

Here's your first quote. It's a short one :)
