Page 61. First sentence of the paragraph:

"In 1987, I was finally able to realize my impossible childhood dream to be a mermaid."

With Love & Laughter, John Ritter by Amy Yasbeck

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.

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]

Richard - is there a sentence - or just pictures

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?

I love that book. I bought it when it first came out, unbeknownst to my brother, who bought it for my birthday. So now I have 2 copies!
