7.A Moveable Feast
6.The Re-Animator??
#6) Eood enough. Full title. Herbert West, Re-Animator by HP Lovecraft (a Herb that brings things back to life, eh?)
#7) Eat it on the run/the mosquitos think you are one, but it was Ernest Hemiway's memors of life in Paris.
But I take the game with #15, don't I?
#15.) Were the lions real or the childrens imagnation? I told someone to think of where lions live. That apparently went unnoticed, but it is there. Look for whoever guess "Narnia". Then I told you it was a famous sci fi short story.
OK. Lions live mainly in Africa, although there are Asiaistic lions. They live on grassy plains, flat areas called "The Veldt", story by Ray Bradbury...
