For Nanette
Categorized under Literatura , Memicry | Tags:
THE BOOK MEME. Page 123. Sentences 5, 6, 7. Book within reach of right hand, next to an empty Glenlivet bottle and container of raisins.
As for the good carrier, whose lusts kept him awake, he had heard his wench from the moment she came in, and had been listening attentively to the knight's every word. Suspecting that the Asturian maid had broken her promise to him in favor of another, he edged nearer and nearer to Don Quixote's bed, silently waiting to see what his incomprehensible speech might lead to. But, when he saw the maid struggling to break loose and Don Quixote trying to hold her, the jest seemed to have gone too far.
Cervantes. Don Quixote.

Heh, cool beans - a post just for me!
Funny, it seems to me that I've read all around that book... stuff about it, seen artwork and so on, but I don't think I've ever read the book itself. Maybe one day.
Thanks for doing the meme and satisfying my curiosity :)
