I stole the following meme from Monty, who also is too busy to be bothered to use her brain for a "real"post. Besides, unlike most memes this one could be fun...or just plain weird, but both of those work for me. Here goes:

1. Take five books off your bookshelf.
2. Book #1 -- first sentence: "Toulos Restaurant, adjacent to Capital Hill, boasts a politically incorrect menu of baby veal and horse carpaccio, making it an ironic hotspot for the quintessential Washington power breakfast."
3. Book #2 -- last sentence on page 50: "Where you keep them mutherfuckin broom?."
4. Book #3 -- second sentence on page 100: "Remember that we must not embarrass the Governor."
5. Book #4 -- next to the last sentence on page 150: "At Lee William's suggestion, I also asked Senator Fulbright."
6. Book #5 -- final sentence of the book: "Perhaps you could express your opinions through the medium of acting, in which you are of unparalleled skill, and not on Larry King, where you seem like kind of a douche."
7. Make the five sentences into a paragraph: "Toulos Restaurant, adjacent to Capital Hill, boasts a politically incorrect menu of baby veal and horse carpaccio, making it an ironic hotspot for the quintessential Washington power breakfast. Where you keep them mutherfuckin broom? Remember that we must not embarrass the Governor. At Lee William's suggestion, I also asked Senator Fulbright. Perhaps you could express your opinions through the medium of acting, in which you are of unparalleled skill, and not on Larry King, where you seem like kind of a douche."

These came from: 1. Deception Point, Dan Brown
2. A Confederacy Of Dunces, John Kennedy Toole
3. The Power Broker, Robert Caro
4. My Life, Bill Clinton
5. America (the Book), Jon Stewart
