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.

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.
 

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

Looking over the bank, he asked, "What about that hole?"

First:   I thought about replying that my comic book.....pictorial novel, doesn't have 56 pages.

There are two books, equi-distance.

"Of course, the vast mojority of S&Ws were shipped in standard configuration to large distributors."
from  Standard Book of Smith and Wesson

 "He attended on Armenian-Catholic service that seemed stiff and devoiid of new life."
from Bonhoeffer - Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy  (review coming soon, to a thread near you)
