Meme-osity!
Being a bookish sort of person, this one is right up my alley:
* Grab the nearest book.
* Open the book to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post the text of the next two to five sentences in your journal along with these instructions.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
Closest book: Justinian's Flea - The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire by William Rosen.
"The impotence of Ricimer's comic-opera emperors was mirrored in their domain; during the five decades since the Goths settled in Toulouse, the western empire had lost control, successively, of Africa, Spain, most of Gaul, and, finally, of the ability to command its own army."
Yeah, I think I'll only post the one sentence. You don't need another few like that, do you?
