lonelybrit: Apples & book (Default)
[personal profile] lonelybrit
This is one of the funniest things I've read recently! It almost makes me want to see the film itself. Head over to [livejournal.com profile] cleolinda's LJ and read her Troy In 15 Minutes. It will brighten your day just a little :)


1. Take five books off your bookshelf.
2. Book #1 -- first sentence
3. Book #2 -- last sentence on page fifty
4. Book #3 -- second sentence on page one hundred
5. Book #4 -- next to the last sentence on page one hundred fifty
6. Book #5 -- final sentence of the book
7. Make the five sentences into a paragraph

I woke up in the usual way. Dr Johnson's teasing of the Scots is positively benign by comparison with the crude abuse the English have thrown at the Irish. Just as in 1936, the creative intelligentsia from all spheres was expected to respond energetically to the resolutions, applying the admonitions and prescriptions directly to their own disciplines. He lay on his good shoulder, hands still chained, and rested his head against the wooden headboard. 'Next time get it right,' I said, and gave it back to him signed, Christopher Lee.


*sigh* I don't even want to begin trying to make head or tail of that one...

#1: 'Enough To Make A Cat Laugh' - Deric Longden.
#2: 'The English: A Portrait Of A People' - Jeremy Paxman.

Ooh, and just doing that weird taggy thing to see what colour name I have:
