I finished Tim Power's book Dinner at Deviant's Palace last evening and found it incredibly...intriguing. The pithy phrases teetered off a bit towards the end but there were still a few noteworthy and picturesque moments:
"I'm never at my most charming right after amputations."
"Lisa sat down and had a drink herself, from the neck of the bottle."
And my favorite line of the whole book...
"Jaybush leaned back and indulged in a fit of laughter that set his corpulent body jiggling like a rack of carne asada on a windy day in the meat market."
