Quick Meme

From my friend:

Grab the nearest book.

  1. Open it to page 161.
  2. Find the fifth full sentence.
  3. Post the text of the sentence along with these instructions.
  4. Don’t search around looking for the coolest book you can find.  Do what’s actually next to you.

Here’s mine:

"She had slipped off the steep rocks and fallen into the pool."

If you’re reading this consider yourself tagged and leave a comment with a link and I’ll link you!  If you don’t have a blog, leave the quote in the comments.

    It helps if they include the title of the book. 🙂

    Yes, I agree with Cay, part of the fun is the title of the book. Here’s mine: http://studeo.blogspot.com/2007/05/quick-book-meme.html

    Mine is from a really old book my grandmother gave to my husband when he got his MD degree.
    Maidenhood and Motherhood. It was sitting right here on my husband’s desk!

    Here’s mine:
    “Recall (‘Free Variables’ in Chapter 7) that an entity defined outside a handler or script object but globally visible and not redefined within it (a free variable) takes its value within the handler or script object at the time the code runs, not at the time the handler or script object is defined.”
