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.
6. Tag three people.
Nostradamus had signed, 'To myne old friend Azerafel, with Beste wishes'; Mother Shipton had spilled drink on his copy; and in a climate-controlled cabinet in one corner was the original scroll in the shaky hand-writing of St John the Divine of Patmos, whose 'Revalation' had been the all-time best seller. Aziraphale had found him a nice chap, if a bit too fond of odd mushrooms.
What the collection did not have was a copy of The Nice and Accurate Prophesies of Agnes Nutter, and Aziraphale walked into the room holding it as a keen philatelist might hold a Mauritius Blue that had just turned up on a postcard from his aunt.
He'd never even seen a copy before, but he'd heard about it.
I doubt anyone's going to actually believe this, as it might seem to defy Rule 5 (though it really is true!), at time of reading this meme on sacae's page, I had, in my hand, my friend's copy of "Good Omens", which he lent to me a few days ago and I had only just taken it off my little desk and started to read in procrastination on other homework things. 8U (For those curious, the other books nearby that had NOT been directly in my hand at this time were the [New Revised Standard Version] Bible at the end of my bed and "Been There -Should've- Done that-More tips for Making the Most of College" farther down my desk. Even had "Good Omens" /not/ been actually in my hand, it still would have been the closest to reach. So there.)
Uhh, tagging.....
