The Big Sleep. Sorry, forgot to put it at the bottom. I really could have picked any of the books at any point. I love a guy with an answer for everything, even if it's a smart one.

"I passed a porno theater on the way here. It had seven X's. I was stunned. Two X's, whew hot, three x's, wow...seven x's....'Girls With No Skin' that's all I could imagine." - Tom Waits

It's an anecdote, so fuck.

There are a lot of quotes that really get me. The one I most remember is by C.S Lewis, 'A Grief Observed'.

"No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear"

I think it's so true. Death, an end of a relationship... whatever it is, it does feel so like fear. Maybe because deep down, it is.

Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman - Good Omens

One shilling = Five Pee. It helps to understand the antique finances of the Witchfinder Army if you know the original British monetary system:

Two Farthings = One Ha'penny.
Two Ha'penny = One Penny.
Three Pennies = A Thrupenny Bit.
Two Thrupences = A Sixpence.
Two Sixpence = One Shilling, or Bob.
Two Bob = A Florin.
One Florin and One Sixpence = Half a Crown.
Four Half Crowns = Ten Bob Note.
Two Ten Bob Note = One Pound (or 240 pennies).
One Pound and One Shilling = One Guinea.

The British resisted decimalized currency for a long time because
they thought it was too complicated.

"Is man God's greatest mistake, or is God man's?" - Friedrich Nietzche.

I like those.
