A little late start, but we can do this for as long as we want:
Grab the book closest to you right now;
Turn to page 56;
Copy the fifth sentence on the page to this thread;
Do not print the book title.
Have fun ;D

The important point here is in the Court's footnote: while both second- and third-degree assault are felonies, neither involves "great bodily harm."

Their position was "all" we needed to do was disarm him-which would have required a military occupation of Iraq and a systematic inspection of a thousand or so known Iraqi weapons sites without interference from the Hussein regime.
Edited to add Title and Author...
"How to talk to a liberal(if you must)

Nice one M58. I can see this thread running for awhile if we can add two provisions. First, you name the book and author. Second, you say, in one or two sentences (no more), why you are reading it. That way, we learn a bit about each other and get some additions to our reading list. Think of it like "Songs to help in troubled times" only with books. The random sentence thing is fun, but I think the title and rationale bit might have sticking power.
Pg 56.
" For better or worse, the decision I made then was what I was going to do."
From Tony Bourdain's "Medium Raw". Its a collection of very well written essays about food and travel, and I'm reading it because this guy is the Hunter S. Thompson of food. ;D

FQ13
As Nightley looked up again, she flinched at the sight of the three human-looking males and the two dwarves standing over her. Would they help her or harm her? Too hurt to flee or fight, Nightley took a chance and cried out in a small, faint, high-pitched voice: “Help…help me.” She closed her tiny eyes and whimpered.
From the Sci Fi Medieval Fantasy Fiction Novel by E.V. Medina and Jack Shepherd Realmwalkers. The is the first novel written by Medina and, if this is of interest to you, you can order a signed copy from her site or find it on Amazon.

Impressed! Didn't take too long to get to the Bible. I thought that is where I would be, but as I looked at the desk it was all gun, hunting, work and trade catalogs and magazines :-[

M58 tell us the final rules. I don't want to hijack your thread, but I do want to know what other board members are reading. :-\ Do we include the title or not? Your thread, your call. Its fun either way, and thanks for offering this.

The design objective in all Rapid Fire pistols is to minimize muzzle lift, caused by recoil forces, on discharge, in order that the sight picture presented to the shooter remains as undisturbed as possible.

Closest book: "Oor die hele wêreld was daar hongersnood, en toe dit straf word in Egipte, het Josef die graanskure oopgesluit en wat daarin was, aan die Egiptenaars begin verkoop."
Die Bybel (The Bible in Afrikaans, 1983 translation)
What I am currently reading: "Often gunsmiths trade parts between themselves on an informal basis."
The Gunsmith Machinist by Steve Acker
Edited to include title and author.

Throughout the world there was famine, and when it was doom in Egypt, Joseph opened the granaries and who were the Egyptians started...
I didn't realize we had a South African on the board. I'd like to hear your perspective on things back in your homeland bra ;).

Not a South African anymore. I am now a bone fide African-American ;D. I guess you can say I am South African by birth, American by choice. I will have to start a new thread on things back there.

Being a Flying Tiger in Chennault's American Volunteer Group[AVG] was not easy work-it was, in fact, damn dangerous- but Canidy quickly found his place and almost immediately had reaffirmed his belief that he'd been born to fly.

And deserving of the title, unlike the majority of black Americans.
Most of the "boyz in da hood" are no more "African" than I am.

In reply to FQ's request I will amend the rules to include the title and/or author under one condition:
I don't want it hijacked to a book or author review.
Even in these few posts so far I find it interesting to see the simple content of our interests based on a random sentence.

I totally agree with M58. We will drop the "Why I'm reading this" sentence as he is right. It will lead to book reviews which is not the point. Just who are you reading now, and what does a random sentence sound like? Pretty cool, and a damn scary test for any aspiring authors out there (Rowaje? ;D).
1) The quote
2) The bibliographic info
I see this thread lasting, at least I hope so.

So much for that theory. ;D Mine is boring as hell. It was a textbook, "Nursing Management and Leadership". It was written by someone who should have found something better to do. :P

First: I thought about replying that my
