Bookish Flirt Prints

Library Dating.

'He likes his books... unputdownable.'

"Just browsing thanks."

"You're going to hate yourself."

'It'll never work. I'm reading 'Of Mice And men' and you haven't even gotten through 'If You Give A Mouse A Cookie,.'

"Call me, Ishmael."

'Do you come here often?'

'If you're using this for research into your next book then you can sleep in the spare room!'

"I'm sick of writing book reports on spec."

"Wanna go out?"

Dog Training. Most of the choices the dogs made for their book reports are logical. The labrador retriever chose "Catch-22." The terrier, who loves to dig, chose "Journey to the Center of the Earth." The basset hound is doing his on "The Howling." and the shar-pei picked "A Wrinkle in Time." But the dachshund's choice confuses me. Even with the ground-hugging physique, he selected "Wuthering Heights."

"You'd like a book by Shakespeare? Certainly sir - which one. . .?"

Will Self deprecation

Scene from an early draft of Moby Dick

"Yuck! Som'one left their nose in this book!"

"I was quite a successful writer once...what sort of books are you interested in?"

William Blake.

Michel De Montaigne is quotes as saying the following...

"School is loverly this time of year."

Book in library - 'Crash tests for dummies' (being read by a crash test dummy).

Fairy narratives

"I wish I'd never taught him to read - now he takes forever to go to the bathroom."

'It's okay dear. He's my ghostwriter.'

"By the way, what's your position on some-sex marriage?"

Man: 'What the...?!' / 404 ERROR!

"Have you read any of Shakespeare's plays?"

"Everybody wants to meet the author, but nobody wants to read the book."

"I decided to self-publish."

"That book was so cliche. Can you believe the butler actually did it?"
