Literary Meme
I hate memes! Okay?! They are spam…stupid excuse for writer’s block…lame excuse at coolness…and they’re contagious. They also seem to be pretty close to link baiting. But…but…I am a nice guy. So here goes, Jason. 
…the rules:
- Grab the book closest to you
- Open it to page 161
- Find the fifth full sentence
- Post the text of the sentence to your blog
- Don’t search around for the coolest book you have, use the one that is really next to you.
- Tag five people to do this meme.
The book nearest me at the time (honest!) was Christianity and the Social Cross by Walter Rauscenbusch, the father of the social gospel. The fifth sentence on page 161 was:
It was natural that when Christianity spread in the pagan world that men should seize that part of its rich and varied contents which most appealed to their desires, and emphasize it to the exclusion of others.
Heavy stuff.
Now tagging Javan, Jethro, Jeff, Graham, and John to do this stupid meme. Follow the rules at your own risk.
