page 56

Was just tagged by the most awesome Susan Henderson of Litpark.

And here are the rules...

RULE ONE, I have to grab one of the books closest to me, go to page 56, type the fifth line and the next two to five lines that follow.

The book closest to me is MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (third edition (!!!) which tells you how long it's been since I used it. I need to get the newest edition very soon. Anyone have a copy they want to unload?). And now for the scintillating quote:
"In general, a quotation--whether a word, phrase, sentence, or more--should correspond exactly to its source in spelling, capitalization, and interior punctuation. If you change it in any way, make the alteration clear to the reader, following the rules and recommendations explained below."
RULE TWO, I have to pick five people who love books. My five picks are:

Katrina Denza
Ellen Meister
Maryanne Stahl
Susan DiPlacido
Don Capone
