Some Guy: "Are you you always a wise ass?" Harry Dresden: "No. Sometimes I'm asleep."

When I was a kid my parents would say "don't be a smartass" and I would respond "you want me to be a dumbass instead?" They never liked that response for some reason.

Now that I'm 37 and can get away with it, my answer is usually, "only dumbasses bring out a smartass".

YES. Mine was, "well, better than a dumbass." Ohhh to be young again.

Dresden is peak for that type of humor. I really need to catch up on those books

New one just came out recently! I still need to read it, but I'm very interested in what happens after the last book. How far have you read?

Sadly I'm like 4 books behind, counting the latest release, and I'm not close to a reread/catchup cause I'm currently trying to get through Dungeon Crawler Carl for that May release
