for 444
... because he said to, and well, he's 444....
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4-7 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest (unless it's too troublesome to reach and is really heavy. Then go back to step 1).
6. Tag five people.

Forced to abandon the novel Looks down in the gather-
ing shadow because of a production defect in her copy,
the young Sultana wrote to the translator, protesting.
Marana rushed to Arabia. "an old woman, veiled and

If on a winter's night a traveller by Italo Calvino
Which, unfortunately, doesn't capture the spirit of the book at all, which is written to directly address you, the reader, and the path upon which you are set when you buy Italo Calvino's new novel, If on a winter's night a traveller, and the relationship between the reader, the writer, and the read. Of course, the damn thing assumes the reader is a man, but then it was 1979 and it was written by an old European guy, who may not quite have caught up with the times.
It is still one of my favourite books.
