"Do you know what circumspect means?"

Locke shook his head.

"Let me put it like this."

--From The Lies of Locke Lamora, by Scott Lynch, which everyone should read because it is awesome.

And you're just lucky that this was on top of the cheesy romance novel. I'm pretty sure you'd have ended up in a bad sex scene if I'd nabbed that one.

Just did this meme for Beci - gingerhobbit, so I'm picking the other nearest book to the one I used for her... I have a pile next to my bed, I'm just using the next one down in the pile to mix it up some...

"'Agi Hammerthief,' muttered the dwarf, struggling.
'All right,' said Vimes, letting him go. 'Write that down Carrot.'" - From Page 23 of The Fifth Elephant by Terry Pratchett. Which is the next book I'm lending Emily, hence me having it next to my bed, seeing as I'm actually reading Thraxas by Martin Scott, which seems to have attempted to crawl underneath the bed...

:( boring.

"We were stricken with great fear at the approach of this frightful being so that we could neither move nor cry out while he advanced to the couch and disposed his huge limbs thereon. Then, on turning his head, he caught sight of us and arose and came towards us. As I was nearest to his hand he seized me, and, taking me from the ground, turned me over and over in his palm, feeling my limbs to see if they were fat."

-Sinbad the Sailor and Other Stories from the Arabian Nights
