| edca8fd | They asked for my name. I was tempted to go with either I. P. Daily or Wink Martindale, but I stuck with Mark Kadison because he was a friend of mine and if they called, he'd just laugh. | Harlan Coben | ||
| 24756c8 | True to a unique tradition of Rome, all the nearby walls had been slathered with that unique institution of the Latin race: graffiti. Daubed in paint of every color were slogans such as Death to the aristocrats! and The shade of Tribune Ateius calls out for blood! and May the curse of Ateius fall on Crassus and all his friends! All of this was scrawled wretchedly and spelled worse. Rome has an extremely high rate of literacy, mostly so that.. | John Maddox Roberts | ||
| 90bb8c9 | I tipped young Hylas with a sesterce and turned away discreetly while he disposed of it somewhere about his person. Slaves, especially small ones, must resort to certain subterfuges in order to prevent larger slaves from acquiring their wealth, and it is often inadvisable to wonder too much about where our money has been. | John Maddox Roberts | ||

| 71a5040 | It seemed weird to me that he'd spent his Christmas alone ... and had seemed to like it. He hadn't seemed to think anyone should feel sorry for him about that, either. | Rachel Cohn | ||

| 9eceec5 | Pussy-Kat seemed to have a penchant for shoes, and the ones she'd been wearing yesterday--which appeared to be the same ones on the film--were in a box on the top row. He slipped a pen through an ankle strap and lifted it for a closer look. They were fairly new, the matte leather barely creased at the stress points. The American size ten meant nothing to him, but he could tell it was a large shoe. But then again, Pussy-Kat was a woman of ge.. | Stephanie Bond | ||

| eddd783 | Okay," Loren said. "Anything else?" It was like a shadow fell over his face. "Eldon?" "Yeah," he said. "There's something else." "I don't like the way you said that." "I don't like saying it, believe me. But I think whoever did this did more than just smother her." "What do you mean?" "You know anything about stun guns?" "Some." "I think they used one." He swallowed. "In her." "When you say 'in her,' do you mean--" "I mean exactly what you .. | Harlan Coben | ||

| 3e970e3 | You may want to know if Tyrese ever goes down to Florida and what happens to TJ and Latisha. You may be wondering if Shauna and Linda stay together and what that means to Mark. But I can't tell any of that because I don't know. This story ends now, four days after the death of Hoyt Parker and Griffin Scope. It is late. Very late. I am lying in bed with Elizabeth, watching her body rise and fall in sleep. I watch her all the time. I don't cl.. | Harlan Coben | ||

"My attorney says no. Guess what Tom's claiming." "What?" "I lead a"--Esperanza made quote marks with her fingers--"'prurient' lifestyle." "Because you're a wrestler?" "Because I'm bisexual." Myron frowned. "For real?" "Yep." "But bisexuality is so mainstream now." "I kn.. | Harlan Coben | ||
| 9b21b6b | It is one of the most annoying aspects of conspiracy that it compels one to blunder about the streets at night. I got lost several times trying to find the house of Laeca, and it is always embarrassing to have to pound on doors and ask directions. | John Maddox Roberts | ||
| bb9d1db | I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO A good year. I always surveyed each new year with optimism, and events almost always proved my outlook mistaken. This year was to be no exception. | John Maddox Roberts | ||

"I've already paid for my funeral, and I've bought a very decent tomb for my family out on the Via Tiburtina." "Everybody needs money!" Hermes protested. "Not necessarily," I said. "However, I shall be praetor next year, and very few men never need a favor, if not for themselves, then for some family member. How about it, .. | John Maddox Roberts | ||
| 7284581 | ROME AWOKE TO THE GREAT, collective hangover of the day after Saturnalia. All over the city hundreds of thousands of bleary eyes opened, the merciless light of morning pierced through them, and a vast groan ascended unto Olympus. Patrician and plebeian, slave and freedman, citizen and foreigner, all were afflicted and were half certain that Pluto had them by the ankle and was dragging them toward the yawning abyss; and, on the whole, they v.. | John Maddox Roberts | ||
| 7f6dbbd | Lowest of all were bankers and auctioneers, who made money without actually producing anything--activities that, to right-thinking people, had the aspect of a species of magic. | John Maddox Roberts | ||
| cffde40 | The Sublician is the oldest of our bridges, although it has been destroyed and rebuilt several times. The very name refers to the heavy timbers of which it was once built, but the present bridge is of stone. For many generations it was the only bridge over the Tiber at Rome, because the Etruscans lived on the other bank, and Rome was strong enough to defend only one bridge at a time. The most famous story concerning the bridge is the one ab.. | John Maddox Roberts | ||
| 6521758 | Some men care only about power. That's Caesar. He wants to accomplish things and he has to have power to do so, so he has pursued power with a single-mindedness as I've never seen. It makes him uncomfortable to be around. I prefer a brute sensualist like Antonius. He wants power, but that's just so he can accumulate more wealth and more women and wine and food and houses. Power to him means things he can taste and feel. To Caesar'--I shrugg.. | John Maddox Roberts | ||
| 250cdeb | Pugilism is the silliest of all combat arts. It consists of taking the human hand, with its multitude of tiny, frangible bones, and smashing it against the human skull, a most unyielding target. | John Maddox Roberts | ||

| cad9a11 | The beating soon had Laurelene nearly senseless. The carbineer began to tear away her hempcloth robe and when she tried to crawl away he dragged her back and punched her face until she lay unresisting, her legs bare and apart. He's done this before, so this is what it's like to be violated, she thought as he settled down on top of her with a long, shuddering sigh. Anything, anything, just no more beating, she thought, her eyes closed. | learned-helplessness powerlessness rape sexual-violence violated | Sean McMullen | |

| 69e246d | Mandy Grunwald, the mysterious media consultant long immortalized in Clinton lore dating back to 1992, suggested Hillary do a sit-down interview with someone friendly, Robin Roberts, maybe. Hillary could explain that she'd done it for convenience and a lot of the emails were about Chelsea's wedding and yoga and planning her mother Dorothy Rodham's funeral. It would all be so relatable. | Amy Chozick | ||
| ac87bed | Neglect is usually better classified as child maltreatment defined by poverty rather than maltreatment caused by poverty. The main reason child protection services deal primarily with poor families is because of the way child maltreatment is defined. The child welfare system is designed to detect and punish neglect on the part of poor parents and to ignore most middle-class and wealthy parents' failings. Although the meaning of child maltre.. | Dorothy Roberts | ||
| 9981575 | In 1907, Indiana became the first state to pass an involuntary sterilization law, empowering state institutions to sterilize, without consent, criminals and "imbeciles" whose condition was "pronounced unimprovable" by a panel of physicians." | Dorothy Roberts | ||

| 9ce1fd7 | Dorothy Sayers challenged the thought of many nay-sayers of her time who claimed that doctrinal preaching led to boredom and a lack of interest. She wrote: Official Christianity, of late years, has been having what is known as bad press. We are constantly assured that the churches are empty because preachers insist too much upon doctrine--"dull dogma," as people call it. The fact is the precise opposite. It is the neglect of dogma that make.. | Robert Smith Jr. |
