A book meme!
Aug. 3rd, 2006 09:46 amA meme from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rissymonster. I don't usually do memes, but this looked like silly fun this morning.
Instructions:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your LJ 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.
6. Tag five people.
Okay, technically the nearest book is a cookbook:
The small, steaming hot buns are sold everywhere--in restaurants and teahouses, at street stalls and by intinerant sellers. They are eaten sometimes as snacks, but more commonly as the traditional accompaniment to a meal, in the same way as those in the southwest of the country eat rice. They are made from white flour, yeast and sugar and then formed into small balls and steamed in wicker baskets for about 20 minutes. Man to have the consistency of many of the steamed dim sum dumplings.
That's from The Cook's Encyclopedia of Bread, Christine Ingram & Jennifer Shapter
But I'll let you guess the author (and for extra points, which book!) of the following fiction:
They never bothered to learn anything, they never bothered to remember anything apart from how much better things used to be, they bickered like a lot of children and the only one who ever said anything sensible was the orangutan.
He prodded the fire viciously.
The wizards had made Mrs. Whitlow a polite rude hut out of branches and big woven leaves. She bade them goodnight and demurely pulled some of the leaves across the entrance behind her.
I wasn't tagged to do this meme, so I won't tag anyone...
