The Silence of the Lambs (Hannibal Lecter, #2)

by Thomas Harris

Dr. Lecter has six fingers on his left hand.

An interesting detail that I do not think has no real value in the story.

“A census taker tried to quantify me once. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a big Amarone. Go back to school, little Starling.”

Yummy!

The old definition of moth was ‘anything that gradually, silently eats, consumes, or wastes any other thing.’ It was a verb for destruction too.…

Really! Didn't know that.

“Now dry off and rub the cream all over. Rub it all over.”

My son quoted this line, from just seeing the movie once.

Marcus Aurelius,

Smart guy! Read his memoirs, you won't be sorry. Or ask Google for his best sayings.

“I woke up and heard the lambs screaming. I woke up in the dark and the lambs were screaming.” “They were slaughtering the spring lambs?”

There are the lambs.

“Right. Give me a son of a bitch with some manners every time.”

Women talking about a good man. Funny!
