Book meme from ormery
I apologise in advance, because one of these is in German. If you want a rough translation, ask. If you don't, I have slightly more respect for you, since it's bleedingly obvious.
- Take four books off your bookshelf.
- Write the first sentence

- Schon war die fuer das Fliegerpaar nichts weiter als eine kleine Gestalt, die mit jeden Flugelschlag weiter zurueckblieb.
