Post a paragraph for others to guess the novel. {warning, graphic}

[Ptah]

" To my amazement the stone flies true (as if guided by
a Higher Power) and knocks the cottontail head over
tincups, clear out from under the budding blackbush. He
cromples, there's the usual gushing of blood, etc., a brief
spasm, and then no more. The wicked rabbit is dead."

What novel is this paragraph from?

[otherlander]

1. The Higher Power of Lucky?

"If I actually supervised Felix," he said, "then I'm ready now to take charge of volcanoes, the tides, and the migration of birds and lemmings. The man was a force of nature that no mortal could possibly control."

6. This is easy, but hilarious!

It is important to note that suddenly, and against all probabiliy, a Sperm Whale had been called into existance, several miles above the surface of an alien planet. Since this isn't a naturally tenable position for a whale, this innocent creatre had very little time to come to terms with its identitity. This is what it thought, as it fell;

The Whale: Ahhh! Woooh! What's happening? Who am I? Why am I here? What's my purpose in life? What do I mean by who am I? Okay okay calm down calm down get a grip now. Ooh, this is an interesting sensation. What is it? Its a sort of tingling in my... well I suppose I better start finding names for things. Lets call it a... tail! Yeah! Tail! And hey, whats this roaring sound, wooshing past what I'm suddenly gonna call my head? Wind! Is that a good name? It'll do. Yeah, this is really exciting. I'm dizzy with anticipation! Or is it the wind? There's an awful lot of that now isn't it? And whats this thing coming toward me very fast? So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like 'Ow', 'Ownge', 'Round', 'Ground'! Thats it! Ground! Ha! I wonder if it'll be friends with me? Hello Ground!

9. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!

One of my favorite books :) Great author, although towards the end of the series he tended to get a bit repetetive.
