"She arrives, seeks out a suitable challenge for her talents, throws herself into that adventure, and then moves on."
Hmmm, after that last post... this is getting raunchy.
"They knew Umialik had chosen Qayaq to be his son-in-law and that Umialik would not hunt anymore that day. The band of soldiers calling themselves the Green Mountain Boys took their name from the Green Mountains of which present-day state. I was sure that when she stepped upon the stage it would be like putting a match to the wick, and I would flare up, golden and incandescent but somehow painfully and shamefully bright; and my family and my beau would shrink away from me, appalled.By the time someone came around he had drowned in his own blood. Nearby was the Brest railway with its engine depots, warehouses, and lodgings for the employees. If there are any dangers Over There - well, it would be a pity to arrive a moment too late.

Or was it that the kitchen reminded Dalgliesh of that rectory kitchen where the lonely only child had found warmth and undemanding, uncensorious companionship, been given hot dripping toast and small forbidden treats? The Germans blockaded the city for 900 days, and almost a million citizens perished.

:laugh: I'm not sure it would be a bestseller but it sure gave me a laugh!

Here's another one. The first one I quoted earlier was from the book "Devices and Desires" by P.D. James. I have two books sitting here, and I decided to quote the P.D. James book because it was on top. This next one is from "Long After Midnight" by Iris Johansen:
"Bitch."
(I'm going to type the next sentence too, because "Bitch" really isn't a complete sentence, is it?)
"The snarl came from the gray-haired woman from whom Kate had taken the sign."
"I can only assume that if the hearing defect persisted the following year, the examining physician overlooked it."
omg! - you read Iris Johansen novels? what do you think of them? (I'll confess they are a secret luxurious pleasure of mine, though I don't think they are particularly well written, lol)
or was it a novel your sister left at your house or somethin?
;)
"The township is a sector or district of a city large enough to support in principle a full range of local facilities and a good level of employment opportunities."
Stop yawning.
And be thankful you don't have to work here. ;)
Shasta what is that from?? (I feel like I've read it recently, something from the new yorker maybe?)
hi Saucy! Great to see you Bud! I'm at work too... thus the sort of strange sentence I'm quoting here for my contribution to the thread.
NICKY!!!!! :-* :-*
I've missed you SO MUCH!! It's nice to see you here! :D
Nicky!!! `Great to see you!
Faith of My Fathers (A Family Memoir) by John McCain with Mark Salter
Great book! It was on the NYT bestsellers list, but I don't know about the New Yorker.
Nope! I bought the book. Actually Long After Midnight is the only Iris Johansen novel I've read. I've read it THREE times! I'm a big P.D. James fan though - Devices and Desires, Original Sin and The Skull Beneath The Skin, just to name a few. :D
Do you have some favorite Iris Johansen novels to recommend?
Thanks Buds! I've lurked from time to time and I'm just starting to feel like maybe doing the odd post. One of these days I'll tell y'all what I've been up to...
Meanwhile... a joke.
Two elephants jump off a cliff...
BOOM! BOOM!

"It is recommended for rice puddings."
The Ultimate Rice Cooker Cookbook, by Beth Hensperger
(and BTW, she is referring to something called Jasmati rice, a cross between Carolina long grain rice and Thai jasmine rice)
"This is where you want to smother them in tender, loving fat."
What a coincidence! It says the exact same thing in the fifth sentence, 23rd page of my copy of How to Be a Perfect Mother.
Grab the nearest book, turn to page 23 and post the 5th complete sentance here. I'll go first:
"They knew Umialik had chosen Qayaq to be his son-in-law and that Umialik would not hunt anymore that day."
" 'I've never thought of you in that way,' she said helplessly."
The Painted Veil

Ooh, I loved the movie. I must read the book. :)
"For more than twenty years, I've been visiting my parents at Wynmoor Village, a gated community with walls so low I assume they were constructed not to keep cat burglars out but to keep the less nimble occupants in."

Whoever Lorena was talking to must've been from Texas.
"You want to like her, you struggle to, but she is finally too despotic in her intellectual and moral intensity, her endless demonstration of cutting-edge, leather-jacketed righteousness."
The Hours, Michael Cunningham.
Oh I love that book! I like the movie too, but the book was excellent. I need to read more of his work.
