Book Quote of the Day

From The Church of Dead Girls, by Stephan Dobyns, 1997.

"You know how with most people you're really having two conversations? There's the hidden one under the one you're having? You see someone's fear or pride or vanity, which is like a second subject matter. With Aaron, I never see that hidden conversation." Franklin laughed. "It's too hidden. And without it I never have the sense of what he's going to do next or why he does what he does. I can't see how his sense of cause and effect operates.It's like the surface of a pond. Something's stirring underneath, but I don't know what."
