I lika da books...

For summer, my vacation has been by reading because I've been too busy to go anywhere (sorry kids, but I will make up for it this fall....). What I have noticed is there are some really great books, and some really not great books, but every now and then I run across a sentence in the book that just cracks me up.

Here are a few for your reading enjoyment:

No checks, no bills, no references, no mobile phone calls - only payphones - no credit cards, only cash - nothing. That's how you disappear in the twenty-first century - you just refuse to take part in it. - William Boyd, Ordinary Thunderstorm

"I'm Gabriel, everyone who knows me calls me Gabe." "I'm Lou, but everyone who knows me calls me a prick." -Cecelia Ahern, The Gift

As he rounded the corner to the bus stop, he saw it pulling away and he took the opportunity to dusty off several of his favorite underutilized profanities. -John Lescroart, Treasure Hunt
