Frum Librarian, who is one of my blogroll favorites, has tagged her readers with this meme:
Book Meme:
The Rules: Grab the nearest book. Open the book to page 56. Find the fifth sentence. Post the text of the next two to five sentences in your journal/blog along with these instructions. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST. Tag five other people to do the same.
The city mouse eats bread and cheese; The garden mouse eats what he can; We will not grudge him seeds and stalks, Poor little, timid furry man.
From “The City Mouse and the Garden Mouse” by Christina Georgina Rossetti
Book is “The Golden Treasury of Poetry” Selcted and with commentary by Louis Untermeyer
This was my most favorite book as a child, and after finding it recently, gave it to our oldest daughter, who is 7 years old. So happy that she enjoys it too. I always wanted to be a writer as a child. Now I write anonymous blog postings that I don’t even edit.
Thanks for reminding me of my dreams.
I tag all of you who read this.
It is a fun meme, especially if you are a book-y person.
