Endings

By --Deb on

btt button

I had a couple of people (Readerville and Nithin) leave me suggestions in response to last week’s post on Beginnings, but this one was already on its way! I mean, it was the obvious next question….

What are your favourite final sentences from books? Is there a book that you liked specially because of its last sentence? Or a book, perhaps that you didn’t like but still remember simply because of the last line?


Don’t forget to leave a link to your actual response (so people don’t have to go searching for it) in the comments—or if you prefer, leave your answers in the comments themselves!

And also–don’t forget, folks–sometimes WordPress’s spam filter seems to decide that a lot of perfectly valid answers are spam. I periodically check throughout the day for lost comments. But, PLEASE–if your comment doesn’t show, don’t post it four more times in the hopes that one of them will go through. I get very, very tired trying to sort out the duplicates.

    My response is posted on my blog also:
    http://shaycv.blogspot.com/2008/07/booking-through-thursday-endings.html

    One line that stands out is my mind is “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.” That line was stated by Rhett Butler in the book “Gone With The Wind”. However, it was not the last line of the book. The very last line is uttered by Scarlett O’Hara – “After all, tomorrow is another day.”

    Happy thursday.

    Again, this week, I didn’t have an answer for the week’s question… so I took one of the old BTT posts and answered that question, instead (again, I hope that’s all right):
