They sniffed at the smells and they snooped at each door, when suddenly, out of the shadows they saw... http://www.murphsplace.com/crowe/cha...ges/hairy8.jpg SCARFACE CLAW the toughest Tom in town. http://www.murphsplace.com/crowe/cha...ges/hairy9.jpg "EEEEEOWWWFFTZ!" said Scarface Claw. http://www.murphsplace.com/crowe/cha...es/hairy10.jpg Off with a yowl, a wail and a howl, a scatter of paws and a clatter of claws, went Schnitzel von Krumm with a very low tum, Bitzer Maloney all skinny and bony, Muffin McLay like a bundle of hay, Bottomly Potts covered in spots, Hercules Morse as big as a horse http://www.murphsplace.com/crowe/cha...es/hairy11.jpg and Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy http://www.murphsplace.com/crowe/cha...airy-sleep.jpg straight back home to bed. |

Good old Scarface Claw
|
Can't be a true story because Schnitzel von Krumm would have ripped Scarface Claw apart
|
Rubbish, you can see he's the first to bottle it and sprint off

Looks like Bitzer Maloney was the only one who stayed and challenged Scarface Claw judging from that pic
|
I don't think I could possibly rank them but these are probably my top 5:
-Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, by J.K Rowling. -1984, by George Orwell. -Catching Fire, by Suzanne Collins. -Insurgent, by Veronica Roth. -The Amber Spyglass, by Phillip Pullman. |

The Count of Monte Cristo- Alexandre Dumas (hands down the greatest books ever written)
The Great Gatsby- F. Scott Fitzgerald The Prince- Niccolo Machiavelli Othello- Shakespeare The Brothers Karamazov- Fyodor Dostoyevsky |
Dracula - Bram Stoker... undoubtedly my favourite book ever.
Nineteen Eighty Four - Orwell... didn't understand it at school, loved it when I read it because I wanted to. Catcher in the Rye - JD Salinger... for me, the greatest American novel. Hearts in Atlantis - Stephen King... a series of connected stories. One of the best books from one of the best-selling writers whoI think is sadly underrated by the Literati. The Blind Assassin - Margaret Atwood... incredibly clever novel within a novel, totally absorbing. |
the magic key.
