Goodnight, Irene by Jan Burke
i enjoyed it.
"'goddammit irene, you'll do as your told!"
"that line only worked for my father, and he wore it out in less than fifteen years.'"
"'irene, do you know what the two saddest words in the english language are?"
"boo and hoo?"
"no, wise ass. the two saddest words in the english language are 'if only'.'"
"i grew up in upstate new york. like a friend of mine says, only penguins should live there. you ever been to upstate new york? no? well i suppose for some people its got attractions. but every time i even start to miss it, you know what i do? i go out to my garage. i got a snow shovel out there. honest to god. i'm probably the only guy in southern california with a snow shovel in his garage. yeah i just look at that snow shovel and think about what it feels like when there's a good windchill factor and a driveway full of snow and i say, 'just sit there you bastard. i'm never picking you up again in my lifetime'."
