Book meme, stolen from scripps
The rules:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4-7 sentences on your LJ 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 (unless it's too troublesome to reach and is really heavy. Then go back to step 1).
6. Tag five people.
The Book Meme
Ok, I'll be honest, the nearest book was "Molvania: A Land Untouched by Modern Dentistry".
There even was some text on page 123, but lets just pretend it was a pictures only page, since there are actually only five sentences on the page, plus a picture subtitle. Well, very funny concept, very funny book, but on to the next.
So the next closest would have been one of the many on the book shelf, so I thought I could just as well go to the bedroom and grab the book that I am actually reading at the moment without it being cheating.
Here we go:
On the other hand, he could hardly beg Godwyn to keep quiet about what he had seen, for that would be to acknowledge himself in Godwyn's power. (The first sentences were so short!!! Well, so are the next ...)
It was a moment of painful awkwardness.
While Richard hesitated, Godwyn spoke. 'No one shall hear this from me.'
Richard looked relieved, than glanced at Philemon.
'Philemon wants to be a monk. He is learning the virtue of obediance.'
You probably have guessed it already, at least if you have read it.
It's Ken Follet's "World without end". After starting it twice but never got to finish it for various reasons I finally seem to be able to this time.
I really like it, although I liked "The pillars of the earth' a lot better.
