When what you read is too good not to share

As a book lover and avid reader I find myself coming across parts of books, whether it is dialogue, description, or just narrative, that is too amazing not to share with others.

“‘You mean you haven’t been going on romantic dates with Sebastian while you’ve been away from me?’
‘I tried,’ Jace said, ‘but no matter how liquored up you get him, he just won’t put out.’”

Clary Fray and Jace Wayland City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare

“Nerd love. It is a beautiful thing, while also being an object of mockery and hilarity for those of us who are more sophisticated.”

Magnus Bane City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare

“‘So I can swoon watching you make a triple-word score?’ With an effort she pulled back from him. ‘And spare me the jokes about scoring.’
‘Dammit, woman, you read my mind,’ he said. ‘Is there no filthy wordplay you can’t foresee?’
‘It’s my special magical power. I can read your mind when you’re thinking dirty thoughts.’
‘So, ninety-five percent of the time.’
She craned her head back to look up at him. ‘Ninety-five percent? What’s the other five percent?’
‘Oh, you know, the usual - demons I might kill, runes I need to learn, people who’ve annoyed me recently, people who’ve annoyed me not so recently, ducks.’”

Clary Fray and Jace Wayland City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare

“‘You want to go on a date?’
Caught off guard, she stammered. ‘A wh-what?’
‘A date,’ Jace repeated. ‘Often ‘a boring thing you have to memorize in history class,’ but in this case, ‘an offer of an evening of blisteringly white-hot romance with yours truly.’
‘Really?’ Clary was not sure what to make of this. ‘Blisteringly white-hot?’
‘It’s me,’ said Jace. ‘Watching me play Scrabble is enough to make most women swoon. Imagine if I actually put in some effort.’”

“Do as you like, Amelia. You will in any case. Only try not to be assaulted, kidnapped, or murdered, if you can possibly do so.”

Radcliffe Emerson The Mummy Case by Elizabeth Peters

“‘Wrong, Peabody. I know each and every one of these mummy cases. I could as easily be mistaken as to the identity of my own mother.’
‘Since you haven’t seen the dear old lady for fifteen years you might easily make such a mistake.’”

Radcliffe Emerson and Amelia Peabody-Emerson The Mummy Case by Elizabeth Peters

“‘We’ll tell her in a week. What difference does a week make?’
Jace gave him a look. ‘Two weeks ago you were dead.’
‘Well, I wasn’t suggesting two weeks,’ said Sebastian. ‘That would be insane.’”

Sebastian (Johnathan Morgenstern) and Jace Wayland City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare

“He is in love, and as you ought to know, intelligence is no defense against that perilous condition.”

Amelia Peabody-Emerson The Mummy Case by Elizabeth Peters

“‘I only hope the local priest does not believe in demons,’ said Emerson. ‘I don’t mind putting on a show for Abdullah and the men, but one exorcism per day is my limit.’”
