from elliot: phrase from nearest book
- Grab the nearest book.
- Open it to page 56.
- Find the fifth sentence.
- Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
- Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
My result:
“A lot of UN staff call themselves human rights experts but need a shoulder to cry on each time there’s a killing”
– Emergency Sex (and other desperate measures)
Kenneth Cain, Heidi Postlewait and Andrew Thomson
“The same cannot be said for vi, because its command structure is really meant for use in a full-screen editor.”
So sad am I.
My result is, well, unexpected. Not necessarily the sentence itself, but the source.
“We understand the technology, which at the end of the day is really what drives the industry.”
From, wait for it … “Microsoft Secrets”, by Michael Cusumano and Richard Selby.
Oops.
