As seen on Mercurial
1. Grab the nearest book. 2. Open the book to page 123. 3. Find the fifth sentence. 4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions. 5. Don't search around and look for the "coolest" book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.
I got:
"Living space norms per person in Moscow fell by one third between 1929 and 1931."
From Dark Continent: Europe’s twentieth century by Mark Mazower...
I am reading it as background material to a paper I am writing about World War Two. For point of reference, there are at least 13 books within easy reach of my hand. I really need to clean up a bit...

I don't have a journal, so I'll just tell you...it is:
"And he was well and truly drunk."
Man, why did I have to get a sentence that began with "and"? That's such bad grammar. Anyway, it's from "A Clash of Kings"...bad sentence, but good book.
