Memorable scenes from beloved books . . .

          *From City of Fallen Angels (pg 183-184)
                        By Casandra Clare
     Clary glanced toward the stage. "How's the show been so far?"
     "Fine." Isabelle chewed thoughtfully on her straw. "That new lead singer they have is hot. Is he single? I'd like to ride him around town like a bad, bad pony-"
     "Isabelle!"
     " What?" Isabelle glanced over at her and shrugged. "Oh, whatever. Simon and I aren't exclusive. I told you that."

          *From Oh The Places You'll Go
                        By Dr Seuss
You can get so confused 
that you'll start to race
down long wiggled roads at a break- necking pace
and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space,
headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.
                                                                           The Waiting Place . . .
. . . for people just waiting.
              Waiting for a train to go
              or a bus to come, or a plane to go 
              or the the mail to come, or the rain to go
              or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
              or waiting around for a Yes or No 
              or waiting for their hair to grow.
              Everyone is just waiting.

Waiting for the fish to bite 
or waiting for wind to fly a kite
or waiting around for Friday night 
or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake
or a pot to bail, or a Better Break
or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants 
or a wig with curls, or Another Chance
Everyone is just waiting.
