Delirity discussion

Sometimes I come across lines in books that I really enjoy, but they're not something I want to add to my favorites list for some reason or another. Here's a place for you to list any lines you came across that you found profound, or just happened to be funny at the moment.

"'What do you want?'
'A date. With you.' He glared at me, like I was already trying to weasel out of it. 'A real one, where you wear a dress and I ogle your butt when you're not looking.'
- p. 147

For some reason I liked his honesty.

That series has some great lines. In the second book she has a line about Vayl's eyebrows that had me rolling at the time.

hmm looks like an interesting book, I'll have to look up the first one

"You've got some of me in you. . .course, I always knew you were a royal. Just didn't think it went past the pain-in-the-ass part, is all."- Wrath

-page 295 (page number from the ebook from B&N)

That made me laugh. =D

There were 3 on the same page that I liked, but I think this is the only one anyone else might find funny too.

"'When do you think they'll let me get my cell out?' Cole asked. 'I promised Mom I'd text her as soon as we land. I'm going to stick my phone up some guy's kilt, flash a picture, and then challenge her to guess what she's seeing.'"
-p. 5


"His voice dropped into an oh-baby purr, 'I have been entertaining the most erotic fantasies involving you, me, and a bathtub full of whipped cream."
-p. 189

"If this were heaven there'd be more naked men."
-p. 74

There are a lot of good lines in this one, but most need to be read in context.

That is a good series Heather. There are all sorts of great things in the books to come.

I want to say that this is just too cheesy, but I keep reading. It's like I can't stop. The way she wakes up as a vampire... I don't have words to describe my reaction. I think I like Sands and Sparks a little more than this one, but I'm still happy with it. I can't wait to read the series. Too bad I have to buy them since my library doesn't carry them.

I know what you mean Heather, there is something about those kind of books where they should be cheesy or bad, but they are good and for some reason you can't stop reading them.

"I haven't eaten a child in centuries. My oven is for Toll House cookies only."
p. 179

That is a good one Heather. How are those books? I haven't heard much about them.

Cute but cheesy with some great lines and humor.

I might have to check them out.

"'The boys tended to take care of each other, but you were too much for anyone else to handle.'

I poked at the ball of yarn, avoiding her eyes. 'I wasn't that bad.'

She smiled. 'You broke Ethan's arm.'

'It was self-defense. He wouldn't let go of my foot.'

'He was helping you tie your shoe.'

I shrugged."
-pg. 299

I love that the wereCAT pokes at a ball of yarn. The conversation was entertaining to me, but when I typed it here I realized the whole cat and yarn joke thrown in there that I missed on the first reading. =)

There are a bunch a great quotes out of those books Heather.

I know. I didn't have stickies to mark them all on my trip. I'm mad. My library doesn't have these so now I have to go get number 2 from the store. I put them off for a while because the covers are so bad. I should know better by now, but ya.

I try not to let covers sway me because I have read some books with horrid covers, but the books are great.

I don't think these covers covred are that bad but not my favorite either

I know it doesn't matter for content, but when I walk past my bookshelf it's the pretty pictures that stand out.

"Life can get pretty strange. One minute you're in high school, shooting baskets and stealing little kids' lunch money,and the next thing you know you're using mortician's putty to fill in the holes in your best friend's head."

I love her quotes. Here are some of my favorites from her books:



"Is that a bulletproof vest? See, now that's so insulting. That's like saying I'm not smart enough to shoot you in the head."

"Truth is, I think naked men are kind of strange looking what with their doodles and ding-dong hanging loose like they do. Nevertheless, there's the curiosity thing. I guess it's another one of those car crash experiences, where you feel compelled to look even if you know you'll be horrified."



"I wasn't dating anyone. I was fornicating with Batman."

"He [Ranger:] stopped in front of my parents' house, and we both looked to the door. My mother and my grandmother were standing there, watching us.
'I'm not sure I feel comfortable about the way your grandma looks at me,' Ranger said.
'She wants to see you naked.'
'I wish you hadn't told me that, babe.'
'Everyone I know wants to see you naked.'
'And you?'
'Never crossed my mind.' I held my breath when I said it, and I hoped God wouldn't stike me down dead for lying."



"Here's a basic difference between Morelli and me. My first thought was always of cake. His first thought was always of sex. Don't get me wrong. I like sex...a lot. But it's never going to replace cake."



"Babe, you've destroyed a car, burned down two buildings, stapled a guy's nuts, and you have sixteen stitches in your leg. Take a night off. Have a glass of wine, watch some television, and go to bed early."



"Ranger sent us to check on you," Hal said. "We just got here, and we heard shots."
"Some moron ate my jelly doughnut," Lula said. "So I shot him."

Ahahm, those quotes are really good! I've never heard of those books before, but now I'm going to check them out. :)

They're absolutely crazy.

I LOVE those books, there are pull out quotes all over in there. I find I can't read them in public as I laugh too much and people think I am weirder than I am. lol

I thought they were murder/mystery novels, not funny ones. O.o Or are they both?

They are both with a heavy influence on the crazy antics of Stephanie.

LOL... those quotes are hilarious. I'm really enjoying these books.

Jasmine- they're hilarious, murder mysteries based on a self-taught bounty hunter. I'd def check them out!

Here's another one from Two for the Dough that I loved:

[Morelli:]- "Your mother is standing at the door, watching us."
[Stephanie:]- "Yep."
"If she wasn't standing there, I'd grab you and shake you until the fillings fell out of your teeth."
"Police brutality."
"It has nothing to do with being a cop. It has to do with being Italian."

I have these books on my list but after reading those quotes it moved up my list a lot :)

I've just added these to my TBR list. Too funny!

"Wonder Woman might've been a superhero, but I'm pretty sure she never got laid."

Said by the grandmother of all people...



"'Oh! Dammit' Bergman yelled. 'Jaz! Tabitha's going for my nads! Astral's chasing her own tail, and my mother taught me never to hit a girl!'"

"I glanced at George half naked in his towel, then at Barkley, completely naked in his . . . nothing. A vampire and a werewolf.
I shook my head. It was obvious. I was having one of my Anita Blake dreams again. "
— Michelle Rowen (Immortality Bites)

ahhahaa, I actually get that from hearing about Anita so much in this group! :)

That's why I posted it. I wasn't going to since I couldn't remember what book it was actually from.

Love it!

"As we left the kitchen, I asked, 'Can I hold your sword today?'
Catcher glanced back over his shoulder and lifted a brow.
'The sword,' I corrected. 'The sword.'
'We’ll see.'"


"'Well?'
'Well, what?' I waved a hand at the room.
'Start genuflecting. Let’s see some knee action.'
'You’re serious.' I lifted my brows.
He responded in kind, but finally nodded his head, then walked between the couches. He dropped to one knee, then held out his hands.
'I’m monumentally sorry for the pain and humiliation that I caused you and your—'
'Both knees.'
'Pardon?'
'I’d prefer to see both knees on the ground. I mean, if you’re going to grovel, be the best groveler you can, right?'"

I love the second one! :)

I love both of those :)

There are some other good one's but they give too much of the plot away and I don't want to spoil it for you.

"Why does it not surprise me that you have magic driven by sarcasm?"

From Jeaniene Frost's One for the Money:

"Young, old, alive, undead, doesn't matter, I thought ruefully. When Bones is around, women go into heat."


"Bones chuckled. 'Right. And we shrink back from crosses, can't travel over water, can't enter a home unless invited, and always get staked in the end by the righteous slayer. Really, who'd be afraid of a creature like that? All you'd need is a Bible, a tanning bed, and some holy water to send us shivering to our dooms.'"

aahaha, I love Bones so so much.

From L.A. Banks' Seeing is Believing:

"...you want the full package--the three Hs...sombody who's gonna be honest, honorable, and hetero..."

From book 3 of Morganville vamps.

"Perv."
He pointed to himself. "Male and eighteen. What's your point?"

I think Cassandra Clare has about 50 that I love. It would take a very long post to list them all.



"Look, Simon, Luke thinks you should tell your mom. You can't hide it from her forever."
"I can damn well try."
"Think about Luke," she said desperately. "You can still live a normal life."
"And what about us? Do you want a vampire boyfriend?" He laughed bitterly. "Because I foresee many romantic picnics in our future. You, drinking a virgin pina colada. Me, drinking the blood of a virgin."
— Cassandra Clare (City of Ashes)


"Not everything is about you," Clary said furiously.
"Possibly," Jace said, "but you do have to admit that the majority of things are."
— Cassandra Clare


"Don't." Clary raised a warning hand. "I'm not really in the mood right now."
That's got to be the first time a girl's ever said that to me," Jace mused"
— Cassandra Clare (City of Bones)

"You said you were going for a walk!? What kind of walk takes six hours?"
"A long one?"
— Cassandra Clare

"Clary- "How to Come Out to Your Parents," she read out loud. "LUKE. Don't be ridiculous. Simon's not gay, he's a vampire."
— Cassandra Clare (City of Ashes)

I do find lots of funny in the Mortal Instruments

I love The Mortal Instruments! They do have great quotes. While I was reading I remember laughing out loud a lot.



“If there are sacrifices to be made for human progress, is it not essential to hold to the principle that those to be sacrificed must make the decision themselves?”

He was talking about how Columbus, Puritans, PIzarro and many others committed countless massacres in the name of "human progress." I thought this quote was amazing because it describes exactly how I feel about any killings that have been committed in the name of "human progress" or "for the greater good."

Zinn has a lot of good lines. I got sidetracked somewhere in the middle of the book back in 10th grade. I should finish it sometime.

I'm definitely going to finish it during 11th grade, because it's going to be assigned for homework. I'm so happy my teacher decided to use Zinn. It's amazing so far!

You really should, lloll. I love it.

"'Maybe you need to find someone, too.'
Maggie shook her head. 'I doubt there's anyone out there who can kick my ass and make me drool at the same time.'"
