Finally getting back around to finishing CROOKED LITTLE VEIN. Holy fucking shit, this book disgusts me, makes me laugh, and terrifies me every other sentence.
It’s that good.
If I took to quoting my favorite lines from the book, I’d end up copying the entire thing onto the internet. I don’t want to walk a long, treacherous road with Warren Ellis‘ lawyers sticking hot pokers up my ass every third step. I’ll stick to this short, and most recent, line that grabbed my interest and held it fast.
I don’t care if you’re shaking over a contract, shaking with a bar drunk, or shaking hands with your grandpa – you never, ever let someone know how strong you are.
–Michael McGill in CROOKED LITTLE VEIN
