untonuggan: Pile of books (book)
[personal profile] untonuggan
stolen from [personal profile] brigid . It's international book week. The rules: Grab the closest book to you, turn to page 52, post the 5th sentence. Don't mention the title. Copy the rules as part of your post.

"Take anything you find in any instruction book, including this one, with a large grain of salt."

~Knitting Without Tears by Elizabeth Zimmerman

(also reminds me rather a bit of Buddhism, actually)

I concur! that has the idea of "don't just believe things, try them and find out for yourself" etc.

I concur! With the instruction and with the Buddhism comparison.

I don't feel like making a whole post for this, so:
The closest book actually, um, page 52 is just blue. because of chapter breaks. no sentences! just blue! hahaha. at least it's a very nice, calming shade of blue!

what an appropriate random icon!
