I wonder how often authors give in to temptation….

Recently I started reading the works of author Steven Brust, and tearing through them at a fairly rapid rate. They’re light, and entertaining enough to keep me going. Towards the end of the second book, I come across this small exchange:

“Vladimir,” said Cawti, “how should we approach them?”
“Yes,” said Morrolan dryly. “You wouldn’t want her to turn you into a newt.”
“I’ll get better,” I said.

I got a few odd looks when I burst out laughing at that point.

(I’m sure there’s at least one of you out there who is scratching their head at the moment. It’s a Monty Python And The Holy Grail reference. No one make fun of that person for not getting it, ok?)

P.S., the recent 2.1 update to WordPress? Me likey…..
