There is still death in the lands beyond the fields we know.


It's National Book Week. The rules are: Grab the closest book to you. Turn to page 56. Copy the 5th sentence as your status. Don't mention the book. (I think that's to encourage guessing. Or google-ing) Post these rules.

I skipped the closest book to me, because it was LoTR, and I have used it every year since I'm usually looking something up. This was the second book down.

My book didn't have 5 sentences on page 56, so I just kept counting....

Lovely sentence - and a great meme :)

Cool meme! Is it from Stardust by Neil Gaiman (I did a Google search!)

Indeed it is!

I like that line especially because "beyond the fields we know" reminds me of Lord Dunsany's The King of Elfland's Daughter.
