Playtime...

for August 11, 2011: It’s National Book Week. The rules: Grab the closest book to you. Go to page 56. Copy the 5th sentence as your status (We’ve done something similar to this before, but it’s always fun, so … why not?)

I had a pile of books on my desk yesterday, but moved them to my bedroom. The only published book within reach now - "published" in contrast to notebooks and apazines - is a wonderful graphic novel called Thor: The World Eaters by Matt Fraction and Pasqual Ferry.

The pages are not numbered - there are no margins - but I turned to page 56, and discovered that it starts with some odd fragmentary sentences - the patter of a con man pulling in his crowd. Taking each word balloon fragment as a sentence, the fifth sentence is:


I hope you all want to play with me.

I find that absolutely delightful.

I had 3 books beside me in a plie so I checked all three and this is what I got, in the order I looked at them:

The basic idea is to enjoy yourself.
"Have some tea dear."
"Yes."

You got a lovely conversation!

I did! It rather surprised me that they fitted so well together in the order I found them, sheer luck!
