OK, so my nearest book happens to be a dictionary. not very exciting. so i'll give you an excerpt from one of the books i'm reading. the nearest book i'm reading.
"I went to a perfectly ordinary school here, rather than the exclusive seminary. This wasn't because the Fenns didn't want to spend the tuition. The public schools in our middle-class neighborhood were where just about everyone went."
from Child of a Rainless Year by Jane Lindskold.
I started reading this at the beach late in the summer. unfortunately i've only made it to page 15 and not picked it back up. the quote isnt exciting but the book promises to be interesting. I really like Lindskold's wolf series, and this novel is completely different, in style tone and subject.
I now tag biblion, wringinghands, lapetitelune, metasystem, and vix626.
