Well, given the extreme number of copies of this book in this house...
Am about to go to bed, but wanted to do this meme. I wasn't going to do it because I am sitting in the living room (if I were in my bedroom we would be looking at quotes from Dune) and the closest book is my mother's NIV Study Bible.
