This one's a quickie, so to speak, so I can do it. I haven't forgotten Janey's - but I want to do it the right way, so it will need to be a little while.
Whirl's quickie is this - go to page 56 of the novel you're reading, and share a few lines...
I'm reading World Enough And Time, by Robert Penn Warren, for EE's book chat.
Here are a few lines from page 56:
"No," Wilkie said, slowly, "no."
"Well, why are you so moved and disordered?"
Wilkie stared at him, "staring in wonderment as though he had never seen me and as though he could not believe what he saw." So Jeremiah described the moment, and his own sense of embarrassment and emptiness in the face of the incredulous stare."
What are you all reading? Hopefully at least some of you are reading this book. I'm hosting this chat of EE's, and I'm really looking looking forward to it.
Anyone care to be tagged with this one? Let us know in the comments if you'd like to share.

I'm reading Robin's blog. Doesn't have a page 56.
Damn. That's not what you meant, is it?
I'm reading (not right this minute -- see above) Bridge of Sighs by Richard Russo. No idea what's on page 56 because the book isn't with me. If it was, I'd be reading it. Maybe.
Would you believe that I am not reading anything at the moment. I was searching the shelves today for something I haven't read before and I have come to the conclusion that I need to buy more books.
On the other hand if I'm reading - I'm not writing so maybe I should just keep on with the starvation diet!
All's well over my way!
Hey ril,
I bought the paperback of Bridge of Sighs for JB in the summer. I have yet to open it.
The only books I'm reading right now are my own manucscript, and whatever Sparky puts on the Book Chat each month - I'm actually terrified I'll lose my writing voice if I submerse myself in books as I had always done before.
Hope the book is a good one. Where is the book? Home?
Janey - so----- are you writing??
Book @ home. Ril @ office.
I'd like to share. I love memes.
I'll post this later today, k? Best!
Fun, Freddie!
I have tagged you here.
