Lemony Snicket's amazingness

I would like to share my favorite author with you all. I positively LOVE Lemony Snicket. His series are so great. I love "A series of Unfortunate Events and ATWQ as well!". He writes in a stream of consciousness style. So he will start talking about one thing and he will give analogies. The analogies will be something like buying bread, or vacuuming the carpet or chasing a monkey down the hall of a library. Its so fascinating and always cracks me up.  Here are some great ones by Lemony Snicket.
"He was as greedy as he was fictional."
"Wicked people never have time for reading. It's one of the reasons for their wickedness."
 " I suppose I'll have to add the force of gravity to my list of enemies.”
“If you are allergic to a thing, it is best not to put that thing in your mouth, particularly if the thing is cats.”
  “A passport, as I'm sure you know, is a document that one shows to government officials whenever one reaches a border between two countries, so that the official can learn who you are, where you were born, and how you look when photographed unflatteringly.”

I mean it. This man is my absolute favorite. Lemony Snicket, you and Edgar Allen Poe will always be amazing.
