lines that make me laugh

Well finished 2 more books despite my awful sinus pains. Hah! Take that!

Ammonite by Nicola Griffith was a standard sci-fi affair with a planet full of women, a virus, and some communing with the spirits stuff. It was a decent first novel. I liked the attention to details with the environment, but some of the character developments were a bit rough.

Now for the book I can't possibly say enough about. Its not classy, or even in-depth but it has pirates and some of the lines had me laughing so hard I had to stop reading. In fact I want to share just three of my favorites. This author has a way with wit!

...Assure me you're as unsullied as the first days of spring." "Would you settle for some time in midsummer? Perhaps July or August"..."I'll cut out the mongrel's heart and eat it!" "June. I meant more like June."

"By the wounds of Christ. It's a wonder you have time to sail this bloody ship, as much as you're busy rubbin' up on everyone. Is there anyone on board you haven't ruined?" "I haven't ruined anyone but your daughter...Wait a moment. Allow me to rephrase that."

"It seems there's some fuckery afoot here."

The Sublime and Spirited Voyage of Original Sin by Colette Moody
