Fun game- grab the book nearest to you RIGHT NOW

[Alyssa]

I saw this in another group and it was a lot of fun =)

Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 111.
* Find the eleventh complete sentence.
* Post that sentence AS YOUR STATUS. AND POST these instructions in a comment to this status.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST book.

I'll use mine as an example. It's kind of boring though.
