Nice. Two points each for the first five. I can't give any points for Hawthorne's
Twice-Told Tales, unfortunately - it's a short story collection, not a novel, so no points, even though the title indeed comes from Shakespeare, from
King John III.iv to be precise, and a passage that can really cheer you up on a grey morning:
Quote:
There's nothing in this world can make me joy:
Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale
Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man;
And bitter shame hath spoil'd the sweet world's taste
That it yields nought but shame and bitterness.
