Currently

The Spellman Files, Lisa Lutz

Pages this week:150
Page this semester: 1117

Sentences of the week (all from The Spellman Files):
  1. "The gun is not loaded. Daniel is not evil. This is not cocaine. It's powdered sugar." (page 258)
  2. Rae swirled around in the chair, pointed the gun at Daniel, and shouted, "I DON'T HAVE ANY CAVITIES!" (page 259)
  3. "Uncle Ray got a parking ticket, spilled a glass of water, gained two pounds, had his latest poker game broken up by the cops, and it was because his lucky shirt had been hijacked." (page 193)  
My favorite sentence this week is number 2. It is funny in the context of the story and standing alone. Rae despises the dentist so fervently that she gets violently defensive about the health of her teeth.
