Book things

This is something I discovered from David. Get the nearest book and go to page 123, sentence 5. My nearest book was the French book that Seth gave me. On page 123, which happens to be the part of the book containing a section from Les Miserables, the sentence is this:

"Elle repondit."

It's quite interesting. Try it out!

And so shall I respond as well...Pg. 123 sentence 5 of Neil Gaiman's "American Gods": "A wraith appeared on the right of the church, while on the left of the church something with a half-glimpsed, pointed, unsettlingly birdlike face, a pale, Boschian nightmare, glided smoothly from a headstone into the shadow and was gone." The weird part is that this is describing a display at The House on the Rock, a bizarre roadside attraction to be found just west of my own home here in Madison!
