GRAB THAT BOOK
Via half the Internet, it’s the latest crazy random words game:
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 along with these instructions.

"The 40-year-old Eaton, son of a Connecticut farmer, had run away from home at 16 and, lying about his age, enlisted in the state militia to fight the British."

The Savage Wars of Peace: Small Wars and the Rise of American Power - Max Boot

I am only part way through. At the moment, Pershing is chasing Pancho Villa.

A great and topical book. So far.
