Rufi Thorpe
“You are about to begin reading a new book, and to be honest, you are a little tense. The beginning of a novel is like a first date. You hope that from the first lines an urgent magic will take hold, and you will sink into the story like a hot bath, giving yourself over entirely. But this hope is tempered by the expectation that, in reality, you are about to have to learn a bunch of people's names and follow along politely like you are attending the baby shower of a woman you hardly know. And that's fine, goodness knows you've fallen in love with books that didn't grab you in the first paragraph. But that doesn't stop you from wishing they would, from wishing they would come right up to you in the dark of your mind and kiss you on the throat.”
Rufi Thorpe, Margo's Got Money Troubles

“It seemed improbable that men really wanted sex this badly, and yet they did, there was an entire economy based on how badly they wanted it, and for a moment Margo understood the sexual desire she felt was mild in comparison She would never pay fifteen dollars to look at a guy naked.”
Rufi Thorpe, Margo's Got Money Troubles

“and his opulent robes can’t hide the layer of fat that droops from his waist as though he were a woman who has reached sitting-quietly days.”
Lisa See, Lady Tan's Circle of Women

“Another?"

Nth understood that this meant more beer. To his surprise, his mouth opened and words came out. “I like beer.”

Lief’s expression lit up. “Good for you.”

“I like you, too. You make beer happen.”
Adrian Tchaikovsky, Spiderlight

Rufi Thorpe
“What she liked most about sex was that feeling of all the normal posturing and social rules falling away; the giddy panic of realizing you've lost control and you're not getting it back. Instead, you're just helplessly writhing, victim of an ancient itch.”
Rufi Thorpe, Margo's Got Money Troubles
