1. Grab the nearest book
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog 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.
I am equidistant from 4 different books on different shelves, so...
"The governor looked at Prince Wendell. The dog looked more regal than ever. How'd he do that, when all Tony wanted to do was run?"
From The 10th Kingdom by Kathryn Wesley.
"Fruits, in hanging clusters, are red. The bark is smooth, thin, green when young, becoming reddish-brown with age. Another small Maple of eastern mountains is Striped Maple or Moosewood."
From Trees by Zimmerman.
(page 23, since it is a short book)
"Bhí an cat ar buile. Bhuail sé srón Róló lena lapa. Rith Róló agus scanradh air."
From Féasta by Doreen McGuinness [Rough translation: The cat was angry. He hit Rolo on the nose with his paw. Rolo ran away and was scared.]
(also page 23, since the book is only about 80 pages)
"Great and noble breeds such as the Chiens Blancs de Roi, the Grand Bleu de Gascogne, the Poitevin, and the Chien d'Artois were developed. They worked in packs accompanied by horns and rows of huntsmen, beaters, and horsemen. In the nineteenth century, the great dog packs of the nobility disappeared, but middle-class hunters kept one or two dogs, usually pointers and setters."
From Dogs by Marcus Schneck & Jill Caravan
In other news, I am hungry. Not as hungry, though, as a kitten who will chew through a plastic bag and destroy two bagels within 5 minutes of bringing them home from the store!
