NAME THAT SPAM!! (spam goes literary)
You remember the last brand of spam that seemed to come generated from some sort of linguistic database (wasn't me I swear  ) that read like
"Concatenated the retreated glanced utterly. Confused were the gabanzo beans - fenestration abounded! Forthwith hens pecked mildly at the seeds of discontent . . " etc etc - just nearly random almost absurdist Donald Barthelme sort of stuff.
I'd gotten totally NUMB to it - but today got a spam that read:

As he rolled the wheelchair parallel to the open bedroom door, he heard the Cherokees engine shut off. So his mouth dropped open and he was frankly and honestly flabbergasted when she said: "Its not right.
I betched about the typewriter, he thought, looking at it now and listening to the drone of the mower.
"Now, going back to the subject of the paper - "Ill get you your cockadoodie paper,she said sullenly.
The "cockadoodie" (bet the censor hammers that one) caught my eye for some reason and I read through it.
I recognized it.
It was lifted from a book! A popluar topseller etc. Is spam now auto-pasting quotes form ebooks or something?
Insanity.
Your mission (WITHOUT goggling it cheaters) - name the book that passage was from.
Difficulty level 2 (ignore the Soviet judges, please).

Or I could get some canned shredded chicken and a play-dough press and wing it.
