...because the books I have to hand are dull and impenetrable. But, you know me, I can never resist. And besides, I was typing it into my notes anyway. *g*

Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence along with these instructions on your LJ.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.



"The saving meaning of these things is not so much substantiated by the old quotations, as hinted at and given mysterious emphasis."

Ah yes, I hear you saying, she must be reading 'The Formation of the Christian Bible', that seminal work by Hans von Campenhausen, translated from the original German. This last fact would explain why the fifth sentence doesn't appear until nearly halfway down the page. He does like his subordinate clauses.

Right. Back to work.

Oh, and just to say that 'Crossword Ends In Violence (5)' is now available for £9.99 (including P&P) here, for any who are interested.

Funny how a quote like that could've been from different kinds of books. But of course I knew it was von Campenhausen. Immediately. *nods*

Yeah, right. *g*
