Anyway, I'm supposed to go to page 123 and read the fifth sentence on the page and post it here. Here is my odd little snippet:
"Sundry other speeches were made by men of less ability, but developing kindred sentiments and the same anti-republican principles."
From Danger in the Dark, by Isaac Kelso (pub. 1912)
I'm glad you said they were purchased for artsy fartsy purposes...otherwise I would wonder why you would have such a book. Wonder what they were thinking back in 1912!? Jeepers!
ReplyDeleteAYekah It is an odd book. I can't figure it out. I don't think it is a work of fiction.
ReplyDeletehmm.. last time I did this with the book most handy it was Harry Potter... my current read is much less exciting.. "American Indians and the Law". Maybe I will have to go do this one as well, lol.
ReplyDeleteFluuterby I have to agree with you, your current read seems much less exciting!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great meme (which I don't usually say!). I like sentences plucked randomly from somewhere (or nowhere). The random sentences have a sense of being profound when all alone, even when they don't make sense. And that appeals to me very much.
ReplyDeleteSBW I agree, there is just something fun about the randomness of it all.
ReplyDeletegreat quote miss annie -- that could almost be as pertinent today as it was in 1912 :)
ReplyDeletem2, I thought the same thing myself!
