Not your casual reading, there. (or maybe it is, whaddo I know?)

Say--tried sending you email at the addy you provided and it kept bouncing.

[belle_marmotte]

Hiya, you're right, it's one of my biology textbooks. I preferred your horticultural quote!

That's so annoying about the email bouncing! My email addy is belle (underscore)marmotte (at) hotmail (dot) co (dot) uk. It's a UK hotmail addy, so there's no dot com at the end ;)

The nearest book to me is A Short Guide to a Happy Life by Anna Quindlen, and since it's a short guide it only has 50 pages. haha. :D

The nearest book after that is a Heroes tie-in novel titled Saving Charlie by Aury Wallington. The fifth sentence is a bit of dialog. "I told him the article I read said an antivenin had to be given in the first three hours, but he cited a study at Baylor that refuted that."

You're not boring! You're educational. <3

See now yours is exciting too! Snakebites (I presume, and all!)

[kirstygold]

I laughed when I read your bibliography!!
BUT then I mis-read it and was going to write back to you in an excited manner to tell you that OH oH oH I've done E206 but then I read it again and that's not what you said !!!! hahahah

Glad you're doing the reading! (or at least the book is propping up your coffee)

Ooo err missus, harnesses. For the horses, I hope!
;)

[kirstygold]

I believe it was but since I'm only at p30, I'm not so sure!! Anything could have happened by then! (It's a book about Dragons and their place in the Napoleonic wars. As you do, . . .. . )

What a fun idea!

Read it years ago and had the book out as part of my latest decluttering efforts :)

[belle_marmotte]

Ooh, now yours has the quality of a proverb there. It's quite stand-alone for a random sentence!

[townbros]

Heh ... passing through several LJ sites for the first time and came across this site.

I find myself drawn to MeMes.

"Playing it Safe."
Pretties by Scott Westfield ... p161, 5th sentence
