I had originally planned to begin my re-read on September first, but as time progressed I noticed that my book consumption rate was slowing (I'd been reading a thread about 'reader's block) and I panicked and started my Dresden re-read a month early. But guess what? My book consumption rate recovered immediately upon beginning the re-read!

Snippits (from Blood Rites):
Quote:
“Oh, what would you like on your vegetarian pizza?”

“Dead pigs and cows,” I said.

--------------------------------------------------------------

“Just hold still,” I said. “Don’t try to move until we know where she is.”

“That’ll get her,” Thomas panted. “The old sitting-duck ploy.”

“Give me your gun,” I said.

“Why?”

“So that the next time you start talking I can shoot your wise ass.”

--------------------------------------------------------------

I couldn’t take it anymore. “Hey, people. Chat time is over. The girl’s about to pass out on her feet. Thomas is dying. So both of you shut your mouth and help them.”

Raith whipped his head around to stare daggers at me. His voice was cold enough to merit the use of a Kelvin scale. “I do not respond well to demands.”

I ground my teeth and said, “Both of you shut your mouth and help them. Please.”

And they say I can’t be diplomatic.
