Still, this whole schtick can be fine when it's just one or two smug quotes you read somewhere. But at a higher density it gets a bit tedious and often quite noticeable that it isn't as clever as it wants to be. I have this issue with a lot of humorous literature though, for example the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy series.
