Fun little exercise found at Cam Reading (due to influences of others) by way of Poetry Thursday:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.
As we write, so we build: to keep a record of what matters to us.
11.
Given the memorial capacitites of architecture, it cannot be coinciden-
tal that in many of the world's cultures, the earliest and most significant
works have been funerary.
I did cheat, in that the closest book in reach at the moment, Design Like You Give a Damn, had a photo with 3-line credit on page 123.
Answer: Alain de Botton's The Architecture of Happiness. Lovely book.
