A Book Game

Post by Felix4067 » Tue Oct 18, 2011 10:53 pm

As Ninner requested, I'll start this one over here. :D

Grab the book closest to you. Turn to page 45. Go down to the 3rd paragraph. Now, share the first sentence.

"I opened my mouth to say I thought so, but nothing came out."

The Priest's Graveyard by Ted Dekker.

You might consider mentioning that to some of my coworkers, Ali thought.

This one doesn't work as page 45 is - 'Part Two' improvised a little, went to the next printed page choosing a sentence half way down.
