Here's what you do ..

Grab the nearest book .. not the most intellectual or classical or coolest .. just the nearest.

Go to page 61 and tell us what the first complete sentence is, along with the title and author.

Okay Gretchen - I'm patiently waiting for the punchline. Is there one? Or were you just curious as to what others were/are reading??? BTW - why page 61???

Probably not. It's just a starting point for a conversation most likely.

superioity give them a psychological advantage over the children, many
of whom are incurably sentimental about their relationships to parents.

What liz said

I found this on another board - thought it looked interesting. It's also an intriguing look into what we are reading. Just look at the variety in just 18 posts.

"As we saw in Chapter 2, living things are composed of the same atomic elements as the inanimate universe--the 92 naturally occurring elements of the periodic table (see Figure 2.2)."

Life: The Science of Biology Eighth Edition by Sadava, Heller, Orians, Purves, and Hillis.

Definitely not the most exciting book. But it was the closest one .

[Grace]

Good job, everyone. As Roxy pointed out, it's not supposed to be the most exciting - but should be the closest at hand.

Richard - is there a sentence - or just pictures

Haha, win!

I hate that stupid book. It's a pain in the butt to carry and it was ridiculously expensive .

Grace, I have a few questions about this game.......

Can one person post more than one quote?

And, what if the book doesn't have 61 pages?

More than one quote - sure, why not? Right now you are in the living room near one book; say that an hour later you are in the bedroom and there is a different book - feel free to add that one.

I'm going to do the one my husband is reading when I get around to it.

I might even do a magazine or two.

If the book doesn't have 61 pages - why not just open it with your eyes closed and point to the right page or left one. Then quote the first complete sentence on that page?

Is it a children's book?
