Then the OYSTER and the van driver mimicked vigorous haggling over the price of what the van would carry.

Friday 56


I love to read. I've neglected my writing over the past year or so, and so my reading also suffers. I've decided to post on Friday 56 here, just to get me back to the book I cannot seem to finish.

Friday 56: Between You & Me

Rules:
* Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like) along with these instructions on your blog or (if you do not have your own blog) in the comments section of this blog.
*Post a link along with your post back to this blog. Story time with Tonya
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.

Perhaps I'll finish it today.
