The book this week is What's So Funny? by Donald Westlake. It's one from his Dortmunder series. I like Westlake, especially his Dortmunder books which are comic crime novels, in case you didn't already know.

The sentence:

"I don't understand," she admitted. "What's wrong?"

"I know about banks," he told her. "When it comes to money, they are very serious. They got no sense of humor at all. You ever been down to this vault?"

With Dortmunder usually everything is wrong, like being forced to break into a vault that he doesn't know how to break into. Ah, well, sometimes it isn't easy having a reputation of being a master thief.
