Page 23, Sentence 5
Here’s the meme:
- Grab the nearest book.
- Open the book to page 23.
- Find the fifth sentence.
- Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
Deciding which book is nearest takes a moment of thought. I look behind me and there’s a bookcase and piles of books on the floor. Several books are equidistant. But I look to my right and the bookcase along the front wall of the room is only about two arm’s-lengths away. Okay, whatever the closest book is, it’s in this bookcase. And if I stretch my arm out it’s about equal distance to either the top or second row of books. So I have my choice of two books. On the top row nearest me is a German-English dictionary. Not a good choice. But on the second shelf is the book A Happy Death by Albert Camus. And here is the fifth sentence from page 23:
Back in the theater, he remembered that when he was alone he never left his seat between films, preferring to smoke and to listen to the records played while the lights were still on.

Dan,
this sounds lots of fun, but isn't it kind of like a chain letter, or a capital-free pyramid scheme?
(P.S. "The Alphabet Vs. the Goddess" : The higher the number of connectingn neurons, the greater must be the integration between the two sides.)
Simple instruction and you had to try and make rocket science of it: whats up wit dat?
