Directions:

1. Book #1 -- Take the First sentence
2. Book #2 -- Take the last sentence on page fifty
3. Book #3 -- Take the second sentence on page one hundred
4. Book #4 -- Take the next to the last sentence on page one hundred fifty
5. Book #5 -- Take the final sentence of the book

Now <<>> Make the five sentences into a paragraph. (Not easy)

Heres mine:

The life of Milton is known to us in far more fullness of detail than that of any other major poet before the 18th century. We also know she also has some useful pots and pans,and several other things. There were beggers @ her house also so Carl Went up to the Begger and said "I am very sorry for you;can i do anything?" He replied saying he wanted some info on connecting 2 antennas to something,so carl said "Then you will need either some patch arrangement for switching antennas or a coaxial switch-about $60 for the feed system" Then the begger (Jake) went back to making his house.. When at last the house was finished,the cock flew to the very top of it,and crowed and crowed and crowed..

Do you mean just copy those sentences into one paragraph, or try to somehow knit them together?

Is this some variation on William Burroughs' cut-up theory?

OK, here ya go. It wasn't hard at all, but then, it doesn't make any sense either.

"We should start back," Gared urged as the woods began to grow dark around them. "Your brother Jaime keeps losing battles." "It was as if all the free folk had vanished." Mace Tyrell was no more than ten years older than Cersei, yet she thought of him as her father's age, not her own. Striving to tune up the body maps of your right insula may turn out to be one of the best investments in yourself you can make.

What's fun here is trying to figure what books or authors you used..

I think I'll try this later but use only one author..you can guess.
