Correct on all counts - now just for the benefit of others, could you please name the book and author?

It's never too late, dear Andromus... Go on and name the book and author, and credit will be all yours. And post a new trivia after you answer this, I find yours to be really difficult...which I like, of course
Michal: Before you start complaining , I'm not saying your quotes are easy

Not joking at all. I have a hardback copy in my hand right now (OK, not right now, can't type with one hand). Published by Harmony Books in 2002, ISBN 1-4000-4508-8

I'll say it's right! Well, Michal should... :)
I wonder, would you accept quotes from not English or American books? And more important, do you think you could know the books and authors? ???

You know very well that it's right because you obviously have the book

If they're Czech, I might know them

Looks like you know it! But for the record, I'll need a title and author.

Status : Online | Looks like Dom never bothered to finish the answer But here's a new quote:
"I woke up in bed with a man and a cat. The man was a stranger; the cat was not. [...]
I've shared beds with men before, and with women, and wet babies, and cats who demand most of the bed, and (once) with a barbershop quartet. But I do like to know with whom I am sleeping (just an old-fashioned girl, that's me). So I said to the cat, "Who is he? Do we know him?"
"No-o-o-o."
"Well, let's check." I put a hand on the man's shoulder, intending to shake him awake and then ask where we had met--or had we?
His shoulder was cold.
He was quite dead.
This is not a good way to start the day."
Rules are as usual - who's the author, what's the book's name. Bonus points (very easy) for the name of the cat

Didn't really see the point as I'd started the other topic about the film of the book at the same time. I obviously knew it - I was saving it for someone else....
As for this one - I know it now, but that's because I cheated. I've never read it, so I won't pretend I have!
Good name for a cat, in any case.

Yeah, and for a little dot too
I still haven't finished this book but it's pretty good. Great perspective on history. And I think in comparison to all other books I've read, this is the one that talks most about sex without being in any way pornographic. With the possible exception of The Hand-reared Boy by Brian Aldiss.

Luke must have climbed down the creeper while David was asleep. He was not there in the morning, anyway, and David felt very flat without him. The morning was made no livelier by Cousin Ronald's refusal to let David near a radio. David wanted to hear the Test Match as much as Cousin Ronald, but Cousin Ronald, saying that any radio David went near became covered with compost, took all three radios with him into the study and shut the door in David's face.
I don't know how difficult this is. I want the author's name, the title of the book and the title of the newer book written inspired by this story.

Linoge.
p.s the above link is the screenplay of the miniseries. There was never a novel it was written especially for TV.
