Ok, I didn't dig too hard. This one is always on the shelf. I did the entire short first paragraph.
"It was my intention, when I began, to write an introduction to my work on the Germans. Though its thick folders lie beside me now, I know I cannot. Endings, instead, possess me...all ways out." |

Nary a glimmer...

Sounds American, but beyond that I don't recognise it.
Oh, could I feel as I have felt, or be what I have been, Or weep as I could once have wept, o'er many a vanished scene; As springs in deserts found seem sweet, all brackish though they be, So, midst the withered waste of life, those tears would flow to me. |

Um, I guess you all can Google it now.

I avoided googling. Surprise me PRG...

Alright, I'm going on vacation tomorrow and I don't want to leave you all hanging. My quote is from The Tunnel by William H. Gass. It's an epic post-modern metafictional tour-de-weirdness, and I highly recommend it.

Right!. I know Gass, but I haven't read that one.
Whither a quote? Oh, could I feel as I have felt, or be what I have been, Or weep as I could once have wept, o'er many a vanished scene; As springs in deserts found seem sweet, all brackish though they be, So, midst the withered waste of life, those tears would flow to me. |

Ok, check. Another one for the list. Never read it. Never heard of Gass.

No bells going off for me, I'm afraid.

Daniel and Peachy are men. Something in that last sentence is something similar to something in the title. It's a "real" man's story!!

Nope. Still didn't help me, I'm afraid...

OK. Having tracked down the book and rereading it, I will admit that I paraphrased the quote, yet my "quote" actually gives more information than the real one which doesn't use Peachey's name. Yeah, I also misspelled Peachey's nickname. Probably the only other clue I can give is that it's assumed the author himself is the book's third main character, although his name is never mentioned at all.

Too busy compiling your top 100 and slaving away for China?  And I'm not hearing any bells, mark. Unless PRG comes back and puts it up (I bet PRG knows  ), looks like you've stumped us. ☺☻☺☻☺☻☺☻☺☻☺☻☺ Go Liminal State Bobcats! |

It was turned into an awesome movie by one of the greatest American directors ever, and it perfectly explored his main theme, which was...nope, not going that far just yet.

There's something about the rhythm of the words that bounces some small ball, but I can't quite catch the damn thing in my minds eye long enough to read its title....
