Ira Levin’s the author, but Rosemary’s Baby is not the book. Muhaha. I feel like a dictator or something.
Stepford Wives, then?
no…
Shoot, I don’t have any Levin books to look at.
Son of Rosemary’s Baby? (Is there such a book?)
Well, I give. I’ve been watching a special on The Fly movies, and my brain is rotting.
There’s a Son of Rosemary…but no.
Ok, I’ll just tell you. It’s A Kiss Before Dying. Pretty good book…didn’t keep me up till 2 am, like Rosemary’s Baby, or rock me to my core, like The Stepford Wives, or freak the hell out of me like in The Boys from Brazil, but still better than your average book.
I suppose I could go again…but nice person that I am, I’ll delegate my turn to someone else.
Wait. Strike that. COULD I go again? Please? this time i’ll make it a bit easier. I swear.
Okay with me, if you want to go ahead. I’d forgotten about that Levin book, and I didn’t feel right, cheating, checking at Amazon or something.
(My quote was from Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy.)
So…AuntiePam, was it an author you like?
Oh, yes, ma’am! Check him out.
McCarthy’s writing took some getting used to (I’m a lazy reader) but it’s worth it. Did you like that paragraph?
His characters are defined by their actions, rather than adjectives. And he never tells you how you should feel about his people.
So what’s up, Zog? Next book, please. Or somebody?
Zoggie, I’m not doing this to prevent you from posting again, but I really like this one…
Hope you find this one easier, Celyn 
“…People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it’s true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.”
Aw tis okay; ill post some other time.
I don’t think I know yours tho. sounds a bit familiar.
I’m going to throw out two guesses, but I’m pretty sure they’re both wrong…
Is it from either The Prince or Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds?
Yes, Fretful, those are in fact, both wrong…
I guess y’all just aren’t into reading the same genres of writing as me 
Coming in very late here, but I would say that the latest quote is by the Patrician, but I would have no idea which book. They are all too far away from me.
Well, don’t hurt yourself looking. The quote has not graced the pages of any of Pterry’s fine works.
Fantasy is the right genre, though…although my author is a tad more serious about it than Pratchett.
Fantasy, eh? Was it written by Steven Brust? It has a rather Vlad Taltos-y ring to it.
Nope, not Steven Brust. In fact, I’ve never heard of Steven Brust. Is he any good?
Shall I give hints?
Yes.
Dyno - I think you already slipped in a hint. Is it Memory, Sorrow and Thorn?
No, not Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn…who’s that by?
And, well, ok, I did slip in a hint…but here’s another one…
While the author wasn’t Pratchett, they do share first names…
Good enough? And y’all can start using search engines, if you wish
Terry Southern?
