Books and books and books, oh my!
This is the kind of "do this and pass it on" game that I enjoy playing. It has no purpose, but is literary natured.
Courtesy of Shades of Mediocrity:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don’t you dare dig for that “cool” or “intellectual” book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.
from The Beggar Queen (Westmark Trilogy) by Lloyd Alexander:
"The former queen. The consul chappie she's engaged to. Those most of all."
Since the nearest books to me are the undergraduate catalog and the university phonebook, I thought it would be permissible to dig in my back for the book I actually read on my lunch hour.
Comments
But I could argue that the undergraduate catalog and the phone book aren't really "books", since sentences are few and far between in either of them....

Hey, that's cheating! You're supposed to grab the nearest book, no matter what it is...hence *my* entry!
