Line 206:
** Of the various troll street gangs from which Brick (from ''Thud!'') has been excluded, the most abysmally stupid is Tenth Egg Street's Can't-Think-Of-A-Name gang. Allegedly, they consider a lump of concrete on a piece of string to be a gang member.
* The Thing in ''The Bromeliad Trilogy''. It reveals itself early in the first book to in fact be a sentient supercomputer, but the nomes had it for centuries before that.
* ''Mason & Dixon'' has a scene in which a pair of clocks have a conversation, although it could just be the narrator (who is [[Lemony Narrator|a weirdo]]) speculating on what they ''would'' be saying. Somewhat more notably, there is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Jenkins_<!-- 28master_mariner29%28master_mariner%29 Robert Jenkins']] Ear, which, although severed and pickled in a jar, is still alive and has magical powers derived from its enormous historical significance. Did I mention that Thomas Pynchon wrote this book? -->
* In the Norwegian children's series ''[[Knerten]]'' by Anne Cath Westly, one of the main characters is a stick that looks like a human. The other main character, a little boy, treats him like his best friend and has apparently not realised that he's inanimate. Sort of like ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'', although this one is older.
* ''[[The Velveteen Rabbit]]''. Subverted in that the eponymous rabbit becomes real at the end of the story.
