Always a sucker for book-related memes, when I saw this one over at Beth's I just had to play. Here's what you do:

Hmm. This is intriguing. Maybe I'll play, too.
OOOH. I like that sentence! How's the rest of the book?
If you liked the Little House books, you'll like this one too. It's a pioneer, frontier, strong woman kind of book (for adults).
Fun! May try it if I ever have time. Used to use this process as a writing prompt!
Can you believe that the first five books I tried did not work for some reason or another--like that only had 160 pages or there weren't five sentences on t e page or the sentence was not worth repeating: eg: "Ralph turned." or and "Or torture." Also "There's a Fish in the Ice." That one's a little better, but still. "The female native climbed round it."
I tried a little longer but had to give it up! AK, too much to do. And no good results after several more books.
I too have used this process for writing prompts and poems, with an allowed fudge factor if line 4 or 65 were better, eg. LOL!
