Great Quotation!

I know, I know--It's just fiction, a novel. The author's a wacko. And on and on....

But Vince Flynn, for all of his action, violence, thrills, etc., often has some quotations that are right on the money. Try this one on for size: "Is there no level of incompetence that won't be tolerated?" How about this one: "Doesn't anyone in this administration pay taxes?"

Thanks to my buddy Bitt for steering me toward Flynn--and his protagonist Mitch Rapp, although the one I'm reading now has a different hero, with many of the same other characters, from their early days. It's interesting how Flynn has very little good to say about politicians and government appointees and bureaucrats. Are they as self-centered and stupid as he portrays them? He knows them, "up close and personal," better than I do. I was surprised, happily so, to hear my doctor say he reads Flynn, too.

Harlan Coben, esp in the Myron Bolitar series, often has very good quotations and insights in his fiction.
