1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal...
5. ...along with these instructions.

"If there are any dangers Over There - well, it would be a pity to arrive a moment too late."

That's from C.S. Lewis' The Magician's Nephew. If any of you out there have not read The Chronicles of Narnia series, I highly recommend doing so.

"He had heard that women often love unattractive, simple people, but he did not believe it, because he judged by himself, and he could only love beautiful, mysterious and special women."

Leo Tolstoy, "Anna Karenina"

Back to being beautiful, mysterious and special.

"Demetrius occupies the Peloponnese: re-forms Alexander's Hellenic League at Corinth and is proclaimed captain-general."

Plutarch, Age of Alexander. Makes ancient greece look like a bad homosexual soap opera.

Is that for your ancient warfare class?

Yup. It actually is one of the most entertaining reads we have.
