I've been getting a whole new order of magnitude of spam recently, and
I've noticed that it can be amusing to read sometimes, not just the
Nigerian scams but also the Harry Potter quotations.  Has anyone
identified quotations from other works?  I have been wondering if
perhaps anyone has seen say, Pratchett, or John Grisham or somebody.
Some of the messages are clearly quotes, but I'm not enough well-read to
ID them.

*** Yep, me too.  At least one passage from _The Hobbit_, plus a great 
deal of miscellaneous quotes from what I guess to be Stephen King's 
_Misery_, a book my daughter has forbidden me to read.  It's almost got 
me curious enough to try the book.  It's as bad as reading cereal boxes.

Spammers.  Not selling what they think...

Ta, L.
