The Portable Curmudgeon by Jon Winokur A nice little quote book, more for reading than reference. It is organized by subject, with lots of interviews with living curmudgeons and biographies of dead ones, and a one-page list of World Class Curmudgeons, including W. C. Fields, Groucho Marx, Dorothy Parker, Fran Lebowitz and Mike Royko. Highly recommended. [More Quotation Books for Reading]

Just be careful that you don't plagarize outright, you might get caught. There are over 200 letters organized by subject. [More Other Reference Books]
