He walked forward to a ladder, then down two levels and aft until he got to the brig.

Fun book.

I could not help feeling that Ichiro agreed with most of them, and they seemed perfectly valid to me too.

Don't know if textbooks count, but it's the closest book to me. xd It's my sister's college Bio textbook & I have no idea why it is in my room.

Biology 9th Edition by Sylvia S. Mader

All were present, but beneath all, as ever, lay the peasant's inbred fear of chaos.

'Tis a book for my History class. A book which I should probably get around to reading soon....

Poetry anthologies apply right?

Saint Animal by Chase Twichell from Staying Alive

...I watched it
drift out into the east eddies of twilight
and then veer off, not knowing me.

Also, you could call it "Page 51"

There seemed to be a semi-secret line of energy and feeling that ran between Touchstone and Sabriel

Yes. biggrin

So vividly did she imagine this that she stopped, thinking she heard a distant voice calling.

"Approved insecticidal ear tags are purported to give season-long control."

xd Sorry. That came from one of my mom's veterinary books from college called "Current Veterinary Therapy 2, Food Animal Practice". I believe in that sentence they were talking about external parasiticides. Well, that's what it says in the corner anyway. blaugh
Let me try again. This time it will be from the book I'm reading at the moment.

"Thoroughly disgruntled, she walked over to the front door of the hotel, expecting to find a throng of reporters still lurking like seagulls awaiting a tasty catch." -Hot Secret, by Sherryl Woods

Much better. 3nodding

Some people grumble when they are doing homework or losing a game.

The watered down bullshit of a book that it is these days... stare

For some reason, I'm immensely amused that you have this book. :3

I was a scout, y'know. Never made it past Tenderfoot, but oh well...

And the reprint of the first edition that I ordered arrived today, so for contrast:

[u]The Boy Scout Handbook: The First Edition, 1911[/u]

If at 4 P.M., point the hour-hand at the sun and reckon back half-way.

That was actually from page 57 because pages 51-56 were taken up by diagrams of knots and blank pages intended for notes. The quote itself is taken from a section detailing how to use a wristwatch as a compass.

While both the knot diagrams and the watch-compass are included in subsequent editions (including the handbook that I used when I was a scout) they aren't included until much later in the book. The information density of this handbook is, then, significantly higher.

It's a good book (the first edition) and I highly recommend it to anyone.

Since the fifth sentence is incredibly short, I'll be including the fourth for reference and underlining the fifth.

Firestarter, by Stephen King

Oh you dirty b*****d, he had thought desperately, why don't you just go out to the kitchen and get a paring knife and cut a line upon each cheek? Mark her that way?

Hey, I actually really like this game. Maybe you could give it a clever pun-name, like "Bookin' it"

Anyway, here's mine:

Bridge of Birds by Berry Hughart

"He wakes!" They shrieked at the tops of their lungs. "Lord Lu of Yu opens his divine eyes!"

I'm sad to say I've read NONE of the books quoted in this thread thus far. sad Except for mine, of course.
