Book Meme rides again!

Book Meme says too:

1. Pick any book from your shelves.
2. Choose a number: today’s date or a multiple thereof. (37)
3. Open to the corresponding page.
4. Choose a fairly low number associated with you, like the number of letters in your first name. Let’s say it’s four. (3)
5. Locate the corresponding sentence on the page you chose—the fourth full sentence in this case. (You can’t discard or backtrack. Take what you get.)
6. Post the sentence in your blog.
7. Repeat 1-6 two or three times using the same numbers. (Okay, change the Rule 2 multiple if you have to.)
8. Try to interpret the results. If you don't like them, remember, tomorrow is another day.

"On this occasion, when I boarded an Omnibus I was addressed by theconductor as though I had just spit tobacco juice on the floor." -The Poe Shadow by Matthew Pearl

"I'll lock the door from the outside." - The Invention of Curried Sausage by Uwe Timm

"Here was how ghosts must sing, thought Ali, this Bantu lilt, the melody searching melody"-The Descent by Jeff Long




My book was far less interesting than Mark's! I hope The Invention of Curried Sausage gets better soon! Have you noticed how I always seem to pick the books about food? Weird, huh?

Thanks for letting me get in on the fun book meme! You know you have a nerdy husband when you can count on the fact that he's reading more than one book on any given day. (btw: Pearl's book is great! Intriguing, historical, and also quite humorous! Check it out!)
