I saw this game at Entmoot (heck with so many members they're bound to come up a good idea now and then - actually, I think I foun the 'quotes' game there, too)

Here goes: Askers types in a line or a quote. Answerer types in the next sentence or passage from the book. Answerer, having verified the answer by typing it in, types in a new starting line.

Heres an example:
"A nice, well-spoken gentlehobbit is Mr. Bilbo as I've always said," the Gaffer declared.

Looking this up in the book you'd find the next line is:
With perfect truth: for Bilbo was very polit to him, calling him 'Master Hamfast'.... etc.

The trick is to make it so the reference is not so obvious as this example and not so vague as to be impossible to find.

The next message will contain my first one.
