An interesting exercise from WarDialer of Amish Tech Support:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
Here is mine:
"Mr. Sethna couldn't see Mr. Dhar, who was deep in the bougainvillea, but he had no doubt that the crude movie star was in the thick of this crisis; the steward sighed in disapproval at the very idea of Inspector Dhar."
"A Son Of The Circus" by John Irving, who piles up improbable and hugely amusing characters at a lunatic pace, you will find yourself laughing out loud.
I read that book last summer in Kuwait. My tent-mates kept asking what was so funny!
