View Full Version : Take five books off your bookshelf..
Directions:
1. Book #1 -- Take the First sentence
2. Book #2 -- Take the last sentence on page fifty
3. Book #3 -- Take the second sentence on page one hundred
4. Book #4 -- Take the next to the last sentence on page 150
5. Book #5 -- Take the final sentence of the book
Now <<>> Make the five sentences into a paragraph. (Not easy)
Heres mine:
The life of Milton is known to us in far more fullness of detail than that of any other major poet before the 18th century. We also know she also has some useful pots and pans,and several other things. There were beggers @ her house also so Carl Went up to the Begger and said "I am very sorry for you;can i do anything?" He replied saying he wanted some info on connecting 2 antennas to something,so carl said "Then you will need either some patch arrangement for switching antennas or a coaxial switch-about $60 for the feed system" Then the begger (Jake) went back to making his house.. When at last the house was finished,the cock flew to the very top of it,and crowed and crowed and crowed..
:)

To Beth as a child, grandfather Tewke was merely a strange old man who sometimes passed though the village, driving a smart little pony and trap.
We walked to the Royal Palace and sat on a bench, looking at the river.
The Russian solidier thrust his face into the back of the truck.
A fast blast of dirty, half-clothed sex would set her up for the afternoon of Pinter revision and for having queen bee Carly and her back upcrew making snide remarks every time she contributed to the discussion.
I'm ready said Harry Singleton his voice husky with emotion, I'm ready grand-daughter.
I can't believe that I've actually done this!:hihi:
The pristine sands of the Kuwaiti desert suddenly gave way to a vision of hell. A glorious jumble of a museum devoted to childhood: rocking horses, Punch and Judy, airplanes and dolls' houses from the 17th to 20th centuries. I had family in Swinton, a suburb of Manchester, and my cousins Eileen and Elizabeth were archetypal girls of the period: mini-skirts, crocheted tops, white PVC boots, hotpants, cobalt eye shadow.
The agent banks make their money from managing market differences and inefficiencies for clients; they will find that some of the value-added services they offer will no loner be in demand once these differences and inefficiencies disappear. A glorious jumble of a museum devoted to childhood: rocking horses, Punch and Judy, airplanes and dolls' houses from the 17th to 20th centuries.
"Thank you Doctor," said Annie.
(not quite worked! But I only have five books here, my others are all in storage)
Cavegirl 20-06-2010, 18:30 “I’m not in. Over,” I told my mother, sighing as I held the walkie-talkie in my right hand and with my left continued painstakingly to stick small seeds to the outside of my living-room window.
The words were out before he could really think about whether they were sensible or not; once he heard them floating in the air they didn’t seem like entirely the kind of things he should be saying to Father, but there they were, already said, and not a thing he could do to take them back. Washington continued to undermine “utopian, legalistic means” until it finally achieved its ends by violence.
They listened and the loudest noise was the buzzing of flies over the spilled guts.
Jack spoke in a whisper. “Pick up the pig”.
I opened him up a can of Star-Kist solid white tuna.
Packed in spring water. Net wt. 7 oz.
Haha- seems I read some bizarre stuff :)

When he was nearly thirteen my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow. The by now increasingly familiar aggregate of emotions coagulated inside me as I pulled up at the kerb and I saw him hurry over - a tacky mass of surprise, curiosity, fractiousness and fatigue. The Fox was busy, crammed with friends and customers helping their favourite grumpy landlord to celebrate his birthday. "No, no" he says, "It's all messed up. It's all messed up now. I've done it for myself, haven't I? No one knows I'm here. Nobody. My mother won't know I'm alive or anything." And then the room went very dark and somehow, despite the chaos that followed, Bruno found that he was still holding Shmuel's hand in his own and nothing in the world would have persuaded him to let it go.

Hehe we both used lines from 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas'
What are the chances of that with all the books in the world to choose from? Great minds Lorri... :D

I grabbed the first 5 books I could find.... it would be good to know which books people chose/used actually :)
The moon hung like a sickle blade over Dros Delnoch and Pellin stood quietly staring down at the Nadir camp in the lunar light below. He shook his head- whatever was going on he didn't know yet; insufficient data had been given the machine.
'I don't know what got into me this morning.'
Ty takes another step towards his doom and all the worlds tremble. From it's head, looking towards the setting sun, his sisters tomb can sometimes be seen at dusk.
Ok, maybe there's a reason I'm depressed a lot...:hihi:

To kill a mocking bird. Only thing I have reconised!
horribleblob 21-06-2010, 12:46 A house fly had been circling for the last few minutes in the bus, though the windows were closed. When his right eye looked straight in front, his left eye seemed to look behind him, and when his left eye looked to the right, his right eye turned to the left. He cried in a whisper at some image, at some vision - he cried out twice, a cry that was no more than a breath - "The horror! The horror!" He told me once that he really wanted hair like the guy from Eraserhead but that rather than growing up in a curly high rise, it grew out. Amen, I said, and fell asleep.
In his dream they are still alive,in his dream they have blossomed into beautiful young women with careers and homes and families of their own. That hadnt lasted a semester. Trouble is, 'she laid down her knife and fork', its in Manchester, so you know we,ll have to leave the countryside. When the programme ended the announcer declared, "there will now be an intermission" and a picture came up of a windmill with its blades slowly going round. He came into our lives just as we were figuring out what those lives would be, and i do think he helped shape us as a couple even as we tried to mold him to our will.
Sweatshopboy 22-06-2010, 21:13 "Half a million in silver, did you say?" "In Maria Theresa dollars worth a hundred thou' in quids." "No" say's I "we never do" and I set off under his disapproving eye across Berkeley Square. For a long time I tried to stuff the parcel into the pocket of my jacket, then into the case, and finally, in despair, I threw it over the wall into Henny Cuthbert's front garden. He held on to his ludicrous pouch as he went into the other room, still talking even when he had closed the door behind him. Once the king took his seat in the royal viewing stand, on a coal-warmed and cushioned throne draped in royal blue and emroidered with golden fleurs-de-lis the ceremonies of the combat officially began.
