The Book Page Game

[Girls Are Pretty]

The game goes like this:

Person A posts a number.

Person B takes a book and types the first 3 to 5 lines at the top of the page and lists the book and author, and then gives another number.

Person C does the same as B, and so on.

Don't go too high with the numbers, not all of us are reading Juliette or Atlas Shrugged. Try to cap it at, say, 300. The book can be something you're reading, a text book for a class you're taking or just any book you have close by. If there aren't 3 lines at the top of the page, move backwards until you get to a page that works. If that's not possible, move forwards. If neither of those work, you're a smart ass and you should stop reading dada-ist literature, it'll fuck you up.

Does it have to be fiction?

[Girls Are Pretty]

Nope. Any book; text book, fiction or nonfiction. Just no newspapers, magazines, etc.

Still page 87.

The rovers came out and threw rocks and bottles [P.S. this is a flashback from the main guys childhood. This book is actually about a guy in the vietnam war.] Then I heard shots and flattened myself against the wall. The rovers scattered, and ran. The street was empty for a few seconds, and then the police sirens filled the air. I heard the next day in the indian store that micheal had died.

"wore them. Common folk slept shirtless in the conjugal bed, and there are still some places in the country where that custom persists today. Our peasants, for instance, almost all sleep thus, especially because of bedbugs. The Church refuses tp ;ppl upon this practice with an approving eye, but it does not, however, expressly forbid it."

That was never part of the plan. I had no choice, though. They recognized me. I stabbed the white-haired man underneath his chin.....It was like when father cut the throat of a pig.

"organ. She miaowed with delight and wriggled over onto her belly, scrambling up on all fours and pushing out her ripe white buttocks. Ivor needed no second invitation to position himself behind her and slide his stiff member between her bum cheeks, plunging his throbbing tool all"

Figure one of the erotic novels I just got would be fitting for page 69. lol

"She could see the whole of the Taggart Building, its lines converging abruptly to its distant pinnacle in the sky. She looked up at the dark window of the room that had been her office. She felt as if she were in exile, never to return, as if she were separated from the building much more than a sheet of glass, a curtain of rain and the span of a few months."

dom looked at the Dana Building. Sometimes, a rare country visitor would come upon it unexpectedly in the moonlight and stop and wonder from what dream that vision had come. But such visitors were rare. The tenants of the Dana Building said that they would not exchange it for any structure on earth; they appreciated the light, the air, the beautiful logic of the plan in their halls and offices.

"I don't know . . ." A hint of panic crept into her voice. "I don't know! Not since they brought me here. Roran, am I going blind?" She sniffed and began to cry.
Her tears surprised Eragon. He remembered her as someone of great strength and fortitude. Bet then, she had spent many weeks locked in the dark, fearing for her life. I might not be myself either, if I were in her place.

Then he thought that it was cold and that it was the cold which held him chained to the ground, with pain like pine needles through his every muscle. He sat up; then he knew that it was not only the cold in his muscles, but a dark hole and blood on his thigh; and blood on his right temple.

NEwer techniques have addressed this shortcoming. For example, in the electropsray ionization (ESI) technique, a solution of a macromolecule such as a peptide is sprayed from a narrow capillary tube maintained at high voltage (~4000 V), forming fine highly charged droplets from which the solvent rapidly evaporates.

"Well, everybody," Evelyn says, smiling, pleased with the meal she has presented, "dig in," and then after noticing the piece of sushi that Stash has pinned - he's now bent low over the plate, whispering at it - her composure falters but she smiles bravely and chirps, "Plum wine anyone?"

No one says anything until Courtney, who is staring at Stash's plate, lifts her glass uncertainly and says, trying to smile, "It's...delicious, Evelyn."

Y.T. should have delivered that pizza on time. If she didn't, the mafia would be on his ass, and he didn't have enough money to pay them off. He didn't even know how he would pay them back for the delivery truck that was now crashed in a swimming pool in a burbcave some place.

It's a coffee mug. Someone somewhere wanted to make it a jolly mug. It bears a rather unconvincing picture of a teddy bear, and the legend "To The World's Greatest Grandad' and the slight change in style of letting on the 'Grandad' makes it clear that this has come from one of those stalls that have hundreds of mugs like this, declaring that they're for the world's greatest Grandad/Dad/Mum/Granny/Uncle/Aunt/Blank.
