This makes me feel so small because it is so big!
and here’s a bit of fun, it’s a meme that can be found here on number 1’s site
1) Grab the nearest book;
2) Open it to page 56;
3) Find the fifth sentence; and,
4) Post the text of the sentence along with these instructions.
Right my book is The Tent by Margaret Atwood, it’s a book of short stories and it’s the one I am reading at the moment. And the sentence is
You’re an exotic.
Right your turn now.

You Are Spirited and Spontaneous |
 You are an energetic, passionate person. You are quite impulsive, and your passions tend to change with the wind. You are lively and fun. You like to stay busy with your various adventures.You are a wanderer and a traveler. You’re curious about the world, and it’s hard for you to stay still for too long. You get bored easily and tend to shirk on your responsibilities. You don’t want to grow up yet!

Taken from “Wild Wales” by George Borrow (1803 – 1881)
“By no means,” he replied, “they ask eighty pounds a year for it.”
And what are you going to do with these little gems? Make a new story?

Taken from “La Tour des Anges” Philip Pullman (translated into French from ‘The Subtle Knife’)
-Exprimez-vous de maniere plus directe, repondit Mme Coulter d’un ton glacial.
Sorry, I read children’s stories in French but he did win the Booker Prize for the third (and in my opinion least exciting) book of the trilogy.

My book is: The Memory of Old Jack by Wendell Berry. The sentence goes like this: He was solitary in those days keeping his own counsel, saying little, watching.

I liked the Cosmic journey – puts things in perspective.
Re books; first I picked up Salman Rushdie and that was too boring for words and then ‘Solutions for Writers’ and that was too specialised – and just the one line didn’t make sense. I’m a hopeless case today.
