Bookworm Meme
Posted: Wednesday, December 03, 2008 by Travis Cody inSo I'm ridiculously busy these days. It's a good thing I had a vacation last week. I'll tell the story of why I'm so busy another time.
My "to do" list keeps getting longer and there are over 400 unread posts in my reader. GAH! Hopefully I'll be able to start catching up later this week and through the weekend.
I guess this is a good time to do this Bookworm Meme, because there's no time to go into the reasons why I have no time. Ya follow?
I got tagged by a few folks for this one. I hope I don't miss anyone. I'm sorry if you tagged me and I haven't seen your post yet. I always like to link back when I participate in memes.

Here's the rules:
Pass it on to five other bloggers, and tell them to open the nearest book to page 46. Write out the fifth sentence on that page, and also the next two to five sentences. The closest book, not the coolest, or the one you think will sound the best. THE CLOSEST.
It's the honor system here, so you'll have to believe that I did select the closest. It was a near thing, because I have a stack of books to my left and the book I'm currently reading to my right. The book on my right was closest by about four inches.
Heheheheeee!
The book is called Academ's Fury, which is book two of a series called The Codex Alera by Jim Butcher. I finished book one while on vacation and I can report that this is a rollicking good entry in the epic fantasy adventure genre. The series has my highest recommendation.
And yes indeed, that is the same Jim Butcher who writes the Harry Dresden series.
From page 46:
"Books."
"Books," Doroga said. "Or the drawing speech your people use in them. But we are an old people, and not without our own knowledge."
Thanks for the tag! I'm a rule breaker and won't do any tagging. But feel free to grab this one if you like.
I haven't forgotten about my Dancing recap from last week's finale. We watched at my sister's place and enjoyed the show. I'll get to that post soon, and I'll catch up with my blog rounds as I can.
I hope your busy-ness is for something good! I'm intrigued.
Sadly all books are a walk away so I'll skip this meme for now.
