I have just been tagged by Chris Fisher for this meme.
Here is the way it works:
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
*The one book that this can not be is the Bible*
The bookcase behind me in my office is piled with books, so I picked the one on top.
Until the Final Hour: Hitler's Last Secretary. My book club met to discuss this book yesterday.
"We were right up under the roof in two little rooms of the old Haus Wachenfeld, which had belonged to Hitler's sister and later became the Berghof. Everything had been modernized and improved. Mine was a delightful, femine little bedroom decorated in pale blue and white, with a toilet mirror, a little desk and a lovely bed." (p. 56)
A good companion book to this one is Night by Elie Wiesel. The two books show stark contrast between what was actually going on in the concentration camps and the young uninformed mind of Hitler's secretary. Serious reading and well worth the time.
Now I get to tag 5 ActiveRainers, from the Pets are People Too group:
