OK, so I saw the meme from Caterina on Michael Sippey’s site, so I’ll jump in.
The instructions:
- Grab the nearest book.
- Open the book to page 23.
- Find the fifth sentence.
- Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.

Not bad as a summation of the plotline.
The next closest book was Dr. Seuss, The Cat in the Hat’s Great Big Flap Book. Hmmm…
