Heidi's Tag

Heidi's tag intrigued me. It's just what I needed to spark enough interest in blogging to do this!

OK, so you choose a book, go to page 123. Find the fifth sentence. Then record the next three sentences. Here goes:

"I too had that moment of thinking this was the first truly authentic man I'd ever met, the kind of person I'd traveled to Wyoming as a twenty-two-year-old to find (indeed, to BECOME)--a genuine soul uncontaminated by modern rust. What makes Eustace seem, on first encounter, like the last of some noble species is that there is nothing "virtual" about his reality. This is a guy who lives, quite literally, the life that, for the rest of the country, has largely become a metaphor."

I can't think of 5 people to tag. But I will tag Hollyoak!

Wow! I'm so impressed. Welcome back to blogging. And what is that book you quoted? Sounds interesting. Hope you're doing well!

It's called The Last American Man, by Elizabeth Gilbert. It's basically an autobiography about this guy that leaves home at 17 and goes to the woods. He lives off the land--a mountain man of sorts. If you want to know more, Google Eustace Conway. I believe he has a website. It has been a VERY interesting book. What a nut!!! My idea of roughing it is Motel 6! Good to hear from you.
