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

"Only when she mounts the stage and they ask for volunteers, all you can hear is the wind whistling through the decrepit buildings around her. There's no one willing to take her place."

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. The line starts at the bottom of page 45, and contains that sentence and the next one since it's the end of the paragraph.

"Anyway, since when are you such a cursed light sleeper? The time was that we had to dump buckets of water on you to get you to crack an eyelid."

The first part of the quote started on 45, but I felt like I should but the whole thing in there.

Double Trouble Squared

Liberty's thoughts were following a different path altogether.....

Double Trouble Squared - by Kathryn Lasky - a cute story about two sets of twins who end up solving mysteries in various places in the world - this one takes place in London, the next story in Florida, and the last one in New Mexico. They're quick reading and recently republished after having been out of print. I found them at Borders.com, but they're published by Harcourt.

"[...] Among the poems I read this morning were thirty sonnets by David Gray, a young Scotchman who died of consumption December 3, 1861."

From the 47th letter in "Letters of Wallace Stevens," a library book at my father's house. Selected and edited by Holly Stevens.

Let's see. Page 46 on the book closest to me...

The word "bear," for instance, can refer to a rather husky mammal found in the woods, as in the sentence "The bear moved quietly toward the camp counselor, who was too busy putting on lipstick to notice," but it can also refer to how much someone can handle, as in the sentence "The loss of my camp counselor is more than I can bear."

.... Ah, Snicket. Keepin' it classy with the almost-run-ons.

Lheena: What one is that? I'm not sure if I recognize it. (I read 1 through 9 of SoUE and about half of 10)

[Lheena]

Lheena: What one is that? I'm not sure if I recognize it. (I read 1 through 9 of SoUE and about half of 10)

You wouldn't recognize it, then, since it's from Book the Thirteenth: The End.

[Tsakaki]

Lheena: Man...now I kinda miss Snicket....it's been a long time since I've read any of them....

Just to stay on-topic:

"Get the book? You idiot. We need the girl," she heard Bruno reply."We don't even know if the book is here, and there are forty-seven miles, miles,you idiot, of bookcases in the Denver Public Library."

Here is the book nearest me:


"But see? Now I'm the bad guy!" I protested. "I'm put in the position of saying no, and I hate that!"

Midaq Alley by Naguib Mahfouz

He frequently shook his head sadly and said, "What's wrong with hashish? It gives peace to the mind and comfort to life and apart from both these facts, it is an excellent aphrodisiac!"

This is from Midaq Alley by Naguib Mahfouz. It was very controversial in the middle east because of the themes in the book. The Egyptian author was the victim of attempted assassinations, which is evidence enough for his rebelious nature and his desire to tell the truth.

I find this book fascinating and I recommend it to any high schooler and above. The themes may be too adult for certain audiences, but I am a Junior in high school and the book was assigned to me in school, so it should be appropriate for anyone my age.

There isn't a page 46, so page 47 is:
"Edward of England sprawled in the great wooden bath in the private chamber of the archbishop's palace."
Satan's Fire, P.C. Doherty. (note: this is my dad's book!)

"Take a seat, make yourself at home," he continued, waving to a chair next to him.
"A gentlemen would've risen when a lady entered the room." I paused by the seat but did not sit down.
"Well, when one comes in I'll make sure I stir myself."

"...Romans, whose neighbours they were. The Ligurians live in the far..."

Haha, great dramatic fantasy rea--hang on. This is history. Never mind. =P

"But there could be no secrets here on Legis XV." - The Risen Empire, Scott Westerfeld. Wow, that says nothing out of context. It's talking about the sentient computer taking over everything computerized on the planet.
