Laughing Out Loud in Public

Two passages in Luis Urrea's "Into the Beautiful North" have made me laugh out loud in public.
#1
She liked to think of Matt's mouth as having American lips--labios Americans. It could be a power ballad by Mana'.

#2
The girlfriends had all seen "Los Hermanos Blues" at the Pedro Infante a few months earlier.
"We're on a mission from God," Nayeli intoned.

There's many more that got close to the out loud threshold. I haven't even finished this book but I say go get it!

No, actually. Because I don't have any cloth napkins. Hence why I registered for them on our alternative registry. :o)
