Yesterday's quote was Nathaniel Hawthorne. Today....
“So what’s the title of this book you’ve written?”
“The terms ‘title,’ ‘book,’ and ‘written’ are so passé and 2004,’ announced Marcus airily, using his fingers in that annoying way that people do to signify quotation marks.
“It is 2004,” pointed out Jack.
“So early 2004,” said Marcus, hastily correcting himself. ‘Anyone can ‘write’ a ‘book,’ to raise my chosen art form to a higher plane I prefer to use the terms “designation,’ ‘codex’ and ‘composed.’
“Okay,” said Jack, “what’s the appellative of the tome you’ve created?”
“The what?”
“Hadn’t you hear?” asked Jack, hiding a smile and using that annoying finger-quotes thing back at Marcus, “’codex,’ ‘composed’ and ‘designation’ are out already; they were just too, too early evening.”
“They were?” asked Marcus, genuinely concerned.
