From tad_coast:
1. Take the book (physically) closest to you.
2. Open it to page 123.
3. Find the 5th sentence.
4. Post the sentence here and the instructions in your journal.
5. Don't try to find a cool book, just take the closest one.

"This is seen as a means of helping to overcome prejudices that affect the formulation of middle-range hypotheses as well as undue dependence on specific high-level theories of human behavior, none of which has won overwhelming support among social scientists." - Bruce Trigger, Artifacts & Ideas: Essays in Archaeology.

Fascinating!

From runefallstar: Give me the title of one of my fictions and I'll give you my favorite line from it.
Everything's in my memories.

Your sentence gives me all kinds of painful flashbacks.

"Muraki whispered, the carefully polite words a susurrus of air against Tsuzuki's cheek, and understanding uncurled in the back of his mind like something cold and awful."

It's hard to pick one line.

"The town's governor was too drunk to speak with Hawkins so he and his companions made his way to the Custom House where their personal possessions were 'searched and tumbled to our great dislike'."--Giles Milton, Nathaniel's Nutmeg

Oh, that uncurled is lovely.

Yeah, I keep on narrowing it down to two. Or not finding any. *sigh*

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Oooh. That sounds like a much more interesting book than mine.

I kept seeing a phrase I'd like, but not the whole sentece.

It's from a book that one of my professors is using to go over the history of European colonization of Southese Asia. Technically, I should have finished it by last Tuesday, but I keep getting distracted by interesting things.

Namely, the other eight books for the class. Why is it that the really fun books aren't covered for another two months?

Maths. Gawd.

sorry, I wandered here.

Heh, no worries, I like wanderers. Though I feel I should offer sympathy for that book. Ugh.
