The Book Game

[kama_s]

Someone just passed this on to me on Facebook, and I thought I'd share!

Here's the game: Grab the book nearest you. Right now. • Turn to page 56. • Find the fifth sentence. • Post that sentence. • Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST book.

The book I am currently reading is hilarious. Here''s my Page 56, line 5:

His book has a section called "The Truth About Why I Am Writing This Book", where he says "I want to become famous....I want to get rich.....I want to be like Jesus."

One of my book cases is a few feet from me and the quote is from a book that is the closest by 1".

"Or perhaps you have been struggling along without a resume and simply filling out application forms, but have finally made the commitment to do it right this time."

lol - from Resumes that Knock 'em Dead

I''m currently reading the 4th Harry Potter book, Goblet of Fire (I got the set for Christmas!

)

Page 56, sentence 5, spoken by Ron Weasley:
"Front page of the Daily Prophet, I expect, caldron leaks."

Haha, that was a very appropriately Harry Potter sentence.

"However, it turns out that controlling for first-year grades only modestly reduces the disparity in six-year graduation rates between the top and bottom income quartiles, from 8 to 6 percentage points at the flagships and from 11 to 9 points at the state system SEL Bs (Appendix Table 3.9)."

That''s what I get to go back to after lunch. Jealous, much?

I just picked up a Paul Newman bio this morn at the library.

"But the simplest explanation, if also the most conventional, is best; they were in love, and they could imagine staying together and being in love together for the rest of their lives."

Awww.

I haven''t cleaned out the wedding books from under my coffee table...who cares that my wedding was over 3 months ago.

From "the knots complete guide to weddings in the real world"-
"Many of your crew may not be invited to your parent hosted soiree, for lack of space or the fact that your mom and dad don''t know them well, but you want to make them feel a part of your marriage not only from the start but before it."

My parents were supposed to host an engagement soiree for me? Crap.
