Directions:
1.Take 5 books off your bookshelf.
...got 'em right here with me!...
2. Book #1 - First Sentence:
"To start off an anthology of short stories with a novella may seem unwise, as many readers (and reviewers) judge a book only from a few lines."
3. Book #2 - Last Sentence on Page Fifty:
"And nobuty ever sall him only his fin." [I kid you not.]
4. Book #3 - Second Sentence on Page One Hundred:
"The woman with the carder looked up and smiled, and it was as if a small patch of Canaan opened up suddenly in this alien land, with old Ninurta holding out a hand in welcome."
5. Book #4 - Next to Last Sentence on Page One Hundred and Fifty:
"I had had enough of treasure-hunting for that day, and for many a day to come."
6. Book #5 - Final Sentence of the Book:
"And I hear, just as plainly as I heard it that August night, above the rain, beyond the years, the high clear bark of the midnight fox."
7. Make the sentences into a paragraph:
