BOOKWORMS -- Meeeeeeeee*Meeeeeeeeeee. Oh OKAY, I'll do it!

By
Real Estate Agent with Realty ONE Group Mountain Desert

My friend, and fellow SO CAL GAL, KATHY McGRAW, sent me a MeMe to do.  She's so funny. But after I read the directions, I thought , "Okay...good one." I love books, reading, writing, anything to do with the written word. Kathy McGraw, here goes.

First off, I need to confess that I haven't finished the book nearest to me and I've been "working" on it a year. A YEAR! This novel, by Anne Tyler, is titled Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant....on page 56, fifth sentence down, then the next two-five, it reads:

Jenny and Ezra gave them three curtain calls.

That evening, Cody went out to the porch and looked northward, some more in the twilight. Ezra came too and sat in the glider, pushing back and forth with the heel of one sneaker. "Want to walk toward Sloop Street? Cody asked him.

I'm way past this part, but I am not going to tell you how it goes except to say, Anne Tyler's characters are ALWAYS interesting souls, like people we know or have known.

To the friends I am about to TAG, the directions are as follows:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 56.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next two to five sentences.
5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book or the intellectual one. Pick the Closest.
6. Tag five people to do the same

****you just can't use the Bible****

Kat,

I've never read any of Anne Tyler's books.....if it's taking a year, does this mean it's not a page turner? I'm always looking for new and good authors who write excellent fiction I can escape in.

You know, I've never read any Anne Tyler either but the litle excerpt makes the book sound iinteresting.  I usually tend to no-fiction but I need a good novel.  My brain is fried.

Lubbock: So what are some of your books???

Jo: Oh it is a great book...my problem is that I like to read in bed, but my "Honey" goes to bed before me. So, I NEED to start reading in my recliner, huh? She is a wonderful writer. I love Elizabeth Berg also---BOTH great reads for women.

Ken: Anne is awesome. She makes her characters seem so real.

Thanks ALL for stopping by.

This looked like fun from a distance, but now I have to actually think through my foggy brain.  I have my book, so I'm off . . .

Michelle: Speed reading...now that is a good idea.  You know, I am thinking, IF I wasn't blogging so darn much, I BET I would have finished that book at LONG time ago. LOL   And no, you do NOT have to do another book thingy.  I'll let you off the hook. LOL
