2 QUOTES

Quotes from Donald Westlake’s Parker this week:

  • “Nobody gets everything in this life. You decide your priorities and you make your choices. I’d decided long ago that any cake I had would be eaten.”
  • “If you leave me here,” the guy on the floor said, “he’ll kill me tomorrow morning.” Parker looked at him. “So you’ve still got tonight,” he said.”


1 QUESTION

  • Have you read any of Westlake’s Parker books? Watched any of the many different movie takes on the character? Can you pick a favorite?

Until next Thursday, happy reading,
