Yep. To PRG go the spoils.

I feel bad that I guess but don't post any. It's just hard because I mainly visit MC when I'm at work. Alright, I'll reveal the answer, but someone else has to post another.

A Good Man Is Hard To Find by Flannery O'Connor. I Highly recommend her, especially her short fiction.

I'll do it, then . A great old one.

"Hurry, take me out of the way. I'm nobody. I'm nothing."

Sophocles: Antigone. Said by Kreon (uncle, tyrant extraordinare).

You cheated. You're in my class. By the way, when you win, you get to put up another quote for all to guess.

Alright, fine. Here it is:"The dog was called Wellington".

Oh wait, I forgot, I'll give you a hint: The color helps the cover.

It's The Strange Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. I'll post a new quote later.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.

A lot of people liked this book, but I never really got into it. I always think there's a danger when adult authors tell a story with a child as the narrarator. Most times I never quite buy it. In this case, the child is autistic, which put a different spin on it, but I still wasn't convinced. Authors like Faulkner and Oates could do it, but Haddon isn't quite there yet.

Someone else take my turn.

We must have been responding at the same time. Go ahead and post one.

"If the intended reader of this book should want to go beyond disagreement with its author and try to indentify the sins and deformities that animated him to write it, ...then he or she will not just be quarreling with the unknowable and ineffable creator who - presumably - opted to make me this way."

I know what this is, for obvious reasons. But I think a hint may be in order. Think about Sinisters current philosophical interest, and this is a contemporary book.

Here's the hint: The first name of the author of the book is the same as the first name of today's (very funny) American culture satirist.

BTW, that's a terrible hint. Nobody is going to have the first idea what you're talking about.
Attention: Disregard sinister's hint. It is misleading and not useful. Thank you for your attention.

That's not nice.
I don't want to give it away, that's all.
How about, the author of that quote has the same first name as the first name of "Boomsday"'s author?

Now that's a better hint!

Have I confused everyone or just scared everyone?

Alright, seeing no guesses, I guess I'll just reveal the book. It's God Is Not Great, by Christopher Hitchens...
Anyone want to put up a new book?

"The only difference today between Liberals and Conservatives is that the Liberals go to mass at five o'clock and the Conservatives at eight."

Sorry about being so lazy.

It's one of the trendy atheist-glorification novels, isn't it?
