Just to be clear: That exchange was not a direct quote, but many exchanges like that, can be found.

I tried reading some of Steven Brust's Khaavren Romances[0], where he adopts a similar writing style, but couldn't make it through them. I did like his Vlad Taltos[1] books, which are written in a much more "vernacular" style.
