 >Conversation starter: What's your favorite quote from a Brust book?

 Damn.  I had a big list of quotations from books I had read, including well
 over a dozen Brust quotes, but I lost it in a computer crash.

 Of the ones I remember, my favorites are:

 The "lightbulb" jokes.  They weren't about screwing in lightbulbs in the
 book, but I don't remember what they were about.  The best was:

 Q: How many Yendi does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
 A: Three.  One to screw in the lightbulb, and one to confuse the issue.

 I also remember (I think from Teckla):
 "It's been my experience that, just when things look bleakest, they
continue
 to look bleak."

"Someone asked me yesterday if Dracula met Saruman and there was a fight who
would win. I just looked at this man. What an idiotic thing to say. I mean,
really, it was half-witted."  -- Christopher Lee
