Silly book meme

Posted in Reading
I saw this over at Small Things and  while it's not the first time I had seen is, it is the first time I have actually decided to do it.  Unfrtunately I don't have anything very cool lying (laying? someday I really am going to figure out exactly when to use which word) around on my desk but here's what I did have.

From The Laurel's Kitchen Bread Book (an excellent, excellent reference for those who want to make bread from ALL whole wheat, rather than treating wheat flour like a redheaded step-sibling to white flour)

p. 161, 5th sentence:
Stir the honey into the water, add the oil, and then mix the liquids and yeast into the dry ingredients, making a dough that is quite soft.

That sentence may very well exist in 100 different places in this book but that doesn't mean you shouldn't read the whole thing.  I read the first 119 pages in 2 days.  Then I picked up my library's brand spanking new copy of Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver and haven't looked at another book (other than my Bible) since.  What can I say, I only get a week with the Kingsolver before I have to return it.

If you want to play along, follow these instructions:

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.

OK, page 161, 5th full sentence of The Night Watch by Sarah Waters.

'The sensation was the same.'

That could get your imagination going wild huh? I guess that's what you were talking about. It was hard to understand what you wanted until I read down a bit.
Love you!
