I actually like Gregory McDonald's other series better. The Francis Xavier Flynn series was even quirkier than the Fletch series.

Quotes are funny things. One of the most famous quotes of all times "Play it Again, Sam" is actually a misquote. In the movie, Casablanca, it's always "Play it, Sam".

Famous opening lines is a fun topic. There are so many opening lines that set the tone for the rest of the book. A good opening line can really hook a reader. For example, Call me Ishmael is very meaningful to someone of Melville's original audience. It was the best of times and the worst of times, really does sum up the start of the French Revolution. Of course, it's also a fun trivia game.
