whyelis:
1. Take five books off your bookshelf.
2. Book #1 -- first sentence
3. Book #2 -- last sentence on page fifty
4. Book #3 -- second sentence on page one hundred
5. Book #4 -- next to the last sentence on page one hundred fifty
6. Book #5 -- final sentence of the book
My books:
Book #1 - The Dispossessed by Ursula K. LeGuin
Book #2 - Going After Cacciato by Tim O'Brien
Book #3 - Darkness Take My Hand by Dennis Lehane
Book #4 - The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway
Book #5 - The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
And here's the resulting story:
There was a wall. Gobs of flesh jumped off the beast's flank. Her hair was matted to one side of her face and she looked like she had turned seventy when no one was looking. Under the wine, I lost the disgusted feeling and was happy. So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
