Of course it is...NOT!!!

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

I've read this, but I can't for the life of me place it.

Oh, come on guys, with the love this novel has gotten here. Anyways, I know it, but I don't have a quote handy(I'm at work). I'll chime in when I'm in an environment that provides a little more solitude. Until then, somebody else feel free to claim it.

Sorry, everyone, but I usually don't visit on the weekends. This is one of the easier ones we've had.

One Hundred Years of Solitude

You know the drill.

Wow. It's been so many years since I read that, and I read it in Spanish. Those are my only excuses!

I'll take it for you P. Here's one for all the philosophers in these here parts:
My thought is me: that's why I can't stop. I exist because I think … and I can't prevent myself from thinking.

That sounds like a dead ringer for Sartre.

What is that? Ayn Rand?

It sounds like Descartes. "I think, therefore, I am", anyone?

You're right, Nougie, it has to be Sartre. But I have no idea what it's from.

I hear barking up the correct tree!

Well, I'm fairly certain I haven't read the work that this is from, and I feel like the essays I've read have been in different style of prose. It sure doesn't sound like essay speak, does it? I'll go with Nausea. That's really just a guess though. I don't know of any other Sartre works that aren't essays.

Ding Ding Ding Ding!
An excellent guess! It is Nausea.

Too easy.

Oh yes. Oldie but goodie. Sinister, you read this about 2 or three years ago. You should get it.

Well, somebody should go ahead and answer it. I kind of have this feeling that everyone read the quote and thought "this is too easy for me to answer, I'll let someone else take it".

Catcher in the Rye! A book I must re-read sometime.

Here's a light and fluffy one. To get us back on track.

"When the excrement hit the air conditioning..."

I don't know if I should guess. I've never read this phrase, but I know what books you've been reading. I have a pretty good idea...
Won't someone else swoop in, guess, and resolve my moral dilemma?
