Random Musings

Ahh..finally an update !

If you dont know James Hadley Chase, please pay the toll and get the hell outta my blog. The proliofic writer who could effortlessly combine action,thriller,sarcastic wit & unbelieveble plots into 192 pages of pure fun.. I decided to pen down some of the most memorable punchlines from his novels here for the benefit of mankind.

Note: Some u may not get as they have to be read in context. So sue me.

1) -'He loved nothing better than making a Bently, Cadllic and Proche swerve out of his way'(Lepski while blastting down the freeway in his cop car)

2) 'He was as useful as a hole in the head/fractured arm' (Any wimp/useless person)

3) 'He looked like he was following his Mothers' Herese' -(Sam taking his broken nosed boxer home)

4) 'Funny..it seems I have learnt to write Chinese..(looking at a note) You have it[a book] upside down you dope- 'Funny I thought the whisky was giving me some culture'

5) What a girl..no qualms, no inhibitions..she told me her name was Alice...but Im sure its something awful like Delilah/Belusha - (Safer Dead)

6) 'I could hear his brain creak as he was trying to think'

7)...you mean steal from the rich and give to the poor?..No.. I take from the rich and put the dough in my own pockets - (Have a Nice Night)

8) 'Put on your skates on and roll baby' - Mark Girland

9) 'Next time we meet..the drink is on me' - Malik to Girland - This one is on me

10) ' The deep throated roar remineded me when I threw Reisner into the lion pit..Atleast he did not know what was coming for him..I did' - Johnny Farrar- The Sucker Punch, after throwing away a million $ to the crowd below


If you haven't read a Chase book, please do pick up any of them and tell me how much you loved/ha____ it. Will try to be more regular with my blog updates!
