Book Challenge

Okay, Jake and Jeni have asked us to...
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.


Here goes...

As the first gray tint of morning rose above the horizon, she experienced a sensaton of mingled pleasure and melancholy. She saluted with a smile this forerunner of day. Now the faint rosy tinge appears, which gradually increases, till the azure vault is laced with crimson streaks.

That was a beautifully written passage. I just have law books sitting next to me right now, so I'll spare you all.

Oh sure, that was just the first thing you grabbed. You know I loved that book! :) Just kidding, I expect nothing less from your library than the most poetic verses. Thanks for that!

My nearest book says:
The main meal includes egg yolk. The Super Baby food Diet includes 3-4 egg yolks per week (egg yolks plus the whites when baby is one year old.) Every second day, a mashed hard-cooked egg yolk is mixed into your baby's Super Porridge.
Pure prose.
