What's the first line on the 46th page of the book closest you?

Pickins around here are a little slim at the moment...

"Nextel Voice Mail"

or we can choose my textbook, Manheimer's Cataloging and Classification:

108 Rule 2.7b18 Contents -- Works by different authors

[Dragon Writer]

"left and spiraled gently down to the ground. The dragon back-" is the first line. It's from eragon. Well you said the first line!

[Rycr]

"And that's not all. Them kids. The little 'uns. Who took any notice of 'em?"

From Lord of the Flies...bleh, stupid English class...

[AlidaART]

Aw, I love Lord of the Flies. Great novel. Seriously, give it a chance.

(Then again, it's easy to hate books for school purely because they're, well, books for school and not for their actual content.)

[Rycr]

Yeah, if I had decided to read it on my own, I would probably at least call it "okay," (it's not my kind of book, but it's not bad). Unfortunately, my English teacher is great at ruining books with too much analysis. We had a discussion about symbolism and things like that in the Harry Potter series, and I'll never be able to look at any of the books the same way again.

Thankfully, she hasn't found out about Young Wizards yet...

"of a slowly roasting beneath the Louisiana sun was"--Body Work

"She was complying with the rules. Her dark curls were pulled"--Wanted

Heh, I keep books near me...XD They are my friends... They're everybodys friends...*evil grin*

"'Tell her to go to H<span class="ev_code_WHITE">e double hockeysticks</span>.' 'I can't, I've got certain obligations to her.'" -The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway

"Willfully eluding or fleeing a law enforcement officer." -seabiscuit's Digest of [her state's] Motor Vehicle Laws (driver's ed book)

I think I'd be good at willfully eluding and/or fleeing an officer of the law, don't you guys? Lol

[AlidaART]

Interesting. I, on the other hand, love symbolism and analysis. That's why these boards are so great, I think--you can talk about your favorite books to your heart's content! But then again, I want to be an English teacher, so I suppose I shall have to like/get good at going at every book I see with analysis, so

It's not very hard, just grab the book nearest you and flip to the 46th page. Be sure to include both the book's title and author!

(BTW: Ironically, both time I participated in the other forum, a DD book was closest to me- first Dilemma, then To Visit the Queen. No, I'm not obcessed...)

Did I say that? I don't recall. And Spot headed of into the kitchen again.

The only thing resembling a book I have near me is my notebook for Cataloging class:
Chapter 3 -- Headings for persons and organizations". Ugh.

Directly behind me 6 feet is my bookshelf. A random selection is:
