The best book review ever written?
"From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down I was convulsed with laughter. Someday I intend reading it."
One more: "One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know. Then we tried to remove the tusks. The tusks. That's not so easy to say. Tusks. You try it some time. As I say, we tried to remove the tusks. But they were embedded so firmly we couldn't budge them. Of course, in Alabama the Tuscaloosa, but that is entirely ir-elephant to what I was talking about."
Also from Groucho- "Outside of a dog, man's best friend is a good book. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read."
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tyge.
