Tales of a Solitary Soul

I came up with the following challenge for the book sale volunteers.....to spice things up and have a little fun. Plus it went with the whole selling novels theme. Though, it would have been nicer if more than one person had attempted to solve it!!

The prize was either a $25 gift certificate from Southgate Shopping mall or a mystery prize (its a mystery because I have no idea what to get).

Assalamu Alaikum Friends, Romans, Countrymen....

Captain Ahab invites thee aboard the Nautilus for its maiden voyage around the seven seas!!

Be a part of this adventure of a lifetime and learn about the mysteries that lie in the dark depths of the ocean and on the tallest mountains. Mr. Heathcliff will be your guide on this perilous journey that ye will remember to your deathbeds.

For those of good enough fortune to live to see another day, ye will recant tales of memorbale characters such as Pip, Horatio, and Darcy. The legend has it that if the stars are properly aligned and a full moon is upon us, a glmpse of Colonel Aureliano Buendias and his bandits can be seen roaming across the restless ocean.

But alas poor Yorick, the search for the Holy Grail will not be over until the 'ring of power' has been destroyed in the fiery pits of Mount Doom!!!

So accept this challenge if ye can muster up courage to solve the mystery of Santiage Nassar's death.....otherwise sleep in your beds like cowards and when he comes to visit...be ready to shout 'its alive!!!'
------------------------------

For those people who are really confused, no, MAC Youth GIVE has not lost it!! In the fantasy except above, several references have been made to different characters that we have read about in novels. The challenge is to find all the references (or as many as you can) and identify the character, book, and author). Good luck and the winner will get a worthwhile prize insha Allah!!!!!
