National Book Week
« on: August 11, 2011, 09:18:57 AM »
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.

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.
