MUST do.

Amidst the chaos of the last 7 days of school before Christmas vacation I've solidified one thing to do on my "To Do" list when I have 16 student-free days. I'm going to read a book. And I'm going to start in the morning, still in my pajamas, and end whenever I get finished. Eating will be optional, cleaning will not. I won't do anything else that day except read that ever-loving stress-reducing book.
Problem is, I don't know what book to read.
I'll take suggestions.
But remember, it has to be ever-loving AND stress-reducing.

Productivity Screetches to a Halt

Nothing is getting done at my house. It's been this way for two days. I knew this would happen. I'm almost done. Just a hundred pages or so. Then I can come back to the present world. The world where there are no Souls and Hosts, Jareds, Jamies, Ians, or impossible decisions to make.

You know what I mean.

Page 123

Angie tagged me with the following:

1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people and post a comment to the person who tagged you once you've posted your three sentences.

Angie tagged me a while ago and I wasn't able to respond to her tag since I was at school and the 100 nearest books to me were all under 32 pages long. I'm home now and as I looked around for the nearest book I discovered the nearest one was a surprise book from Zack sitting on our shelf.

The book is "C.S. Lewis: The Complete C.S. Lewis Signature Classics."

Page 123 happens to be the preface to "The Screwtape Letters".

"They themselves are equally pleased by both errors and hail a materialist or a magician with the same delight. The sort of script which is used in this book can be very easily obtained by anyone who has once learned the knack; but ill-disposed or excitable people who might make a bad use of it shall not learn it from me."

I really want to know what everyone's nearest books are, but I can only pick five.
Therefore, I now tag Shannon, Sharlene, Mike, Sarah and D'Nell
