A book assignment and caption contest to help you forget I'm not around

1. Grab the nearest book
2. Open the book to page 123
3. Find the fourth sentence
4. Post the text of the next 2 sentences (#5 and 6) in the comments sections
5. Don’t go digging for that “cool” or “intellectual” book on your shelf. I know you were thinking about it. Just grab what is closest. No cheating.
6. Identify the book (and perhaps tell us a little about it)

Here’s mine:
“I knew my father had contemplated all this too under the same sky, carrying the same gun, and that my younger brother would too. Ritual and clan.”

From Deer Hunting With Jesus, the brand new release from Joe Bageant.

Michele and I are getting away for a few days...so I’m not making another post until Friday at the earliest. Consider the little game above to be a pre-emptive strike against the inevitable separation anxiety. If that doesn’t work, you can always trying captioning this image:
