I remember some novel when i was growing up and the mail character would say, "I'd prefer not to" - it was a big deal in the book, and I'm trying to characterize it for my husband and I'm getting nowhere...

Probably Melville's "Bartleby the Scrivner", as said above; it's the only one I can think of, and it's the most telling line in the story.
FYI, "Bartleby" is just a short story, not a novel, but it's very popular in late high school and early college English classes.

Gotta give a little more info than this, I'm afraid. There are too many books that match this profile.
"I'd prefer not to" answer this question until you do so.
