    So we have all read the greats, can you recognise a line from the heroes of literature?
    If you get the book and the author, post your own favourite line and see if it is recognised?
    If it is not guessed in a couple of days give a clue!
    I will kick off with this gem.

    Moby Dick. Herman Melville?

    Edit: No its not. Doh. By the power of google I've found out both book and Author. As I count that as cheating I will let someone else reveal the answer.
