REVIVED
And We will give out a Bakers Dozen of our own:
1. Those Communist Revolutionaries might feel solitude when looking at the stars
2. Creatures that Vespucci might have worshipped -"American Gods" by Neil Gaiman
3. The more chronologically gifted great-grandmother
4. Those freaks really know their Shakespeare.
5. A midget went shopping and came back again. "Hobbit or There and Back Again" by Tolkien
6. Some guy who likes big medieval noble houses.
7. Well, to kill people, what else?
8. By nothing, I will do it!
9. Nine people to rule over some resin. "Nine Princes of Amber"by Zelazny
10. This aria turns even the coldest hearts aflame.
11. A good reason why to create being.
12. Something that this kid Ronnie could come to.
13. A bit of tequila, a bit of lime juice - and an expert knowledge of how to mix it."Master and Margarita" by Bulgakov
Some of those are series, actually. And mostly they come from our bookshelves - that is, most of it is speculative fiction.
