The number one rule in tomb raiding—never, ever pick up something that sits alone on a pedestal. It always sets off a booby trap, and it’s almost always of the giant rock variety. Hadn’t he seen Indiana Jones?

Lilly asked me if i had to choose between Harrison Ford or George Clooney who would it be, and I said Harrison Ford even though he's so old, but the Harrison Ford from Indiana Jones, not Star Wars, and then Lilly said she'd choose Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan in those Tom Clancy movies, and then Michael goes, Who would you choose, Harrison Ford or Leonardo di Caprio? and we both chose Harrison Ford because Leonardo is so passe,

—Jared, cariño, eres un maldito acertijo digno de Indiana Jones y Lara Croft unidos.
Espero una respuesta, pero veo que se limita a esbozar una sonrisa medio perpleja.
—¿Y bien? —pregunto, al ver que se ha quedado en silencio.
—¿Me has llamado cariño? —pregunta, divertido.

we saw a man walking in our midst who would have made James Bond feel insecure. Indiana Jones would have looked like a momma’s boy compared to the man in the leather jacket with two days’ growth of beard who walked to where my mother stood and then—horror of horrors—winked at her.

Oh fuck. I’ve fallen into Reed’s dick sand, sucked into the serious hotness this guy exudes. I’m lost forever, like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Cock.

The most well known theory concerning the whereabouts of the Ark, made famous by the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark, places it in the ruins of the ancient city of Tanis in Egypt. This theory proposes that the Ark was plundered by the Egyptians shortly after Solomon’s death. According to the Old Testament, the pharaoh Sheshonq I of Egypt attacked Jerusalem, raided the Temple, and plundered its treasures (1 Kgs 14:26). Sheshonq I established Tanis as the new Egyptian capital, and so it is here that Indiana Jones discovers the lost Ark in Steven Spielberg’s movie.

I devoured each of what Halliday referred to as “The Holy Trilogies”: Star Wars (original and prequel trilogies, in that order), Lord of the Rings, The Matrix, Mad Max, Back to the Future, and Indiana Jones. (Halliday once said that he preferred to pretend the other Indiana Jones films, from Kingdom of the Crystal Skull onward, didn’t exist. I tended to agree.)
I also absorbed the complete filmographies of each of his favorite directors. Cameron, Gilliam, Jackson, Fincher, Kubrick, Lucas, Spielberg, Del Toro, Tarantino. And, of course, Kevin Smith.
I spent three months studying every John Hughes teen movie and memorizing all the key lines of dialogue.

Never give up on yourself Everyone may give up on you but never give up on yourself, because if you do, it will also become the end. Believe that anything can be achieved with effort. Most important of all, we must understand that dyslexia is not just a hindrance to learning; it may also be considered a gift. Multiple studies have proven that dyslexic people are highly creative and intuitive. Not to mention the long list of dyslexic people who have succeeded in their chosen fields; Known scientist and the inventor of telephone, Alexander Graham Bell; The inventor of telescope, Galileo Galilei; Painter and polymath, Leonardo da Vinci; Mathematician and writer Lewis Carroll; American journalist, Anderson Cooper; Famous actor, Tom Cruise; Director of our all time favorites Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park, Steven Spielberg; Musician Paul Frappier; Entrepreneur and Apple founder, Steve Jobs; and maybe the person who is reading this book right now.

In spite of what my family thinks, I didn’t go into archeology to be the next Indiana Jones. But I suppose if the opportunity for adventure and the need to save a damsel in distress presents itself, I’d be a fool not to take the challenge. Even if the damsel happens to be a dog.

pulled into a dark tunnel. I found myself hurtling down an almost vertical dirt path, skipping over rocks and dirt patches like Indiana Jones until I hit bottom with a thud. Six years as a private investigator and I’d never fallen down a tree before. I caught my breath, got to my feet and dusted myself off. Good thing I never dress up for work. My old jeans and boots were none the worse for wear. I was wondering how I’d get back up to the surface when I noticed the flicker of golden sconces on

Cipriano, ni de su sombrero mexicano. Había desaparecido como por arte de magia. El que apareció, también como por arte de magia, fue su padre, agitando la gorra roja para que lo vieran. —¡Lástima de tormenta! Ya las teníais casi ganadas, ¿eh? —dijo Manu. —¡Papá! Nos estaban dando una paliza. Si no llega a ser porque se ha puesto a diluviar, ya habríamos perdido —dijo Sofía. —Pero no es justo —protestó Irene—. Nosotras llevamos entrenando duro todo el año, y ellas han fichado a una rusa gigante para el último partido. Parece un rascacielos. —Bueno, no os preocupéis. El próximo sábado nos traemos la escalera de mano y todo arreglado. O, quién sabe, a lo mejor esta semana pegáis el estirón y os hacéis más altas que la tal Irina —dijo Manu, cogiéndose el cuello con las dos manos y tirando hacia arriba. Las niñas se rieron con las tonterías de su padre y se olvidaron por un momento del partido de baloncesto. Manu y sus hijas salieron del polideportivo y se dirigieron paseando a su coche. Charlaban animadamente sobre el partido cuando, despistados, estuvieron a punto de chocarse de bruces contra un hombre que llevaba dos perros enormes. Al fijarse en él, Manu y las niñas se quedaron helados. El hombre llevaba un sombrero como los de Indiana Jones, del que sobresalía una melena blanca y desordenada que le llegaba hasta los hombros. Llevaba un parche en el ojo derecho y una cicatriz larga y roja le cruzaba la mejilla izquierda hasta la comisura de los labios. El ojo que le quedaba sano era de color negro, tanto como los dos enormes perros que lo escoltaban. Los animales llevaban un collar de pinchos en torno al cuello y estaban sujetos a su dueño por una cadena de metal. El hombre llevaba dos pistolas de agua colgadas del cinturón, y un arco de madera asomaba detrás de su espalda. —Perdone. Mis hijas y yo no le habíamos visto —se disculpó Manu con prudencia, pensando que se habían cruzado con un loco. El hombre permaneció en silencio, mirando a Sofía fijamente. Uno de los perros olfateó el ambiente y lanzó una dentellada al aire en dirección a la niña. El desconocido también olisqueó, imitando a su perro, y dio un paso hacia delante. —Niña ese balón que llevas… ñiiick… Es muy bonito y huele muy bien —dijo el hombre en voz baja. Al hablar rechinaba los dientes y emitía un sonido parecido al que hace un tenedor al rasgar un plato. Ñiiick. —Pues sí, es muy bonito —dijo su padre, poniéndose delante de la niñas—. Sujete bien a sus perros, parecen peligrosos. —Les compro el balón… ñiiick… A mi perro parece que le gusta mucho… ñiiick —dijo el hombre, sin hacer caso a la amenaza de Manu. —Es de mis hijas y no está en venta —dijo Manu—. Vámonos, chicas, se nos hace tarde. Manu y las niñas dieron un pequeño rodeo y se alejaron del hombre, que no paraba de mirar el balón fijamente mientras movía las aletas de la nariz. —¡Como está el barrio, chicas! —dijo Manu cuando se habían alejado un poco del extraño desconocido. —Qué tío más raro. Llevaba unas pistolas de agua en el cinturón. ¿Y por qué querría la pelota? —dijo Sofía. —Ni idea. Me recordaba un poco al director del «cole», solo que todavía más feo —dijo Irene, sintiendo un escalofrío. —¡Hala!

I look through the crowd of people and somehow see him right away. He looks up at the same time and smiles as soon as our eyes meet.
“Hey,” I say when we meet. He stops just inches from me and takes me in his arms, dipping me back a bit for a kiss.
“Hey to you too.” He runs his hands over my arms.
“What’s this?”
“Oh, I got you something.”
“You did?”
“I got it on a whim. I saw it at a market I walked through and thought—well, just look at it and you’llknow.”
He takes the shopping bag from me and opens it up, pulling out a wool fedora. Looking it over, I worry he won’t get it.
“Is this an Indiana Jones hat?” he asks.
“Yes!”
“I like it.” He smiles and puts it on, and even Harrison Ford would be jealous. “But, uh, why?”
I lean back, staring at Archer like he just asked what color the sky is. “You’re Dr. Jones. Please do not tell me no one has ever said ‘okey-dokey Dr. Jones’ to you.”
“It’s surprising now that you’ve pointed it out, but no, they haven’t.” He pulls me in and kisses me again. “Wait, there’s an Indiana Jones market going on?”
“No, just some weird guy at a pop-up selling hats. He told me I had nice feet.”
Archer chuckles. “I guess you do, though, in that dress, it’s hard to look past your tits.”
I shimmy and wiggle my eyebrows. “That’s the point of a pushup bra.”

To get the dining-room table in, they carried the table up onto the front porch, then turned it on end like a giant coin and rolled it through the house. Leon ushered Wayne in ahead of the table, confusing him at first, but when his father started humming the Indiana Jones theme and pretending the table was the boulder from Raiders of the Lost Ark, he couldn’t help but run away from it in slow-motion.
