Friday 56

There's a Friday 56 that goes around sometimes,

 I think I found it on Irene's Desk blog post from last week....

choose a book you are reading, TURN TO PAGE 56 AND SHARE A SENTENCE OR TWO...

(no spoilers)

My book is State of Wonder by Ann Patchett

published in 2011

page 56:

"Miss," he said, as if they had never met before. "Miss?"

Marina opened her eyes. The man in the suit was shaking her shoulder,

and the flight attendant was peering into Marina's face, entirely too close. 

When Marina opened her eyes she was looking directly into the woman's mouth,

her lipstick a thick brownish pink. Obscene.

Now this small passage may not convey at all what the book is truly about, but it happens to show the manner in which it is written. Such that one can't put it down. 

I must have bought this book a few years ago, and only today have I had the energy to pick it up and start reading...mainly because the last few days I have been incapacitated with a very sore foot,  I also had the pest control man coming to do a pest and termite inspection, and couldn't leave the house anyway!!!

I have read so much of it today that I can no longer read properly, the words are out of focus! 

Much like the photos I took, (sorry)

 ;-

here's a bit about the book to let you know some more, I hope it turns out a bit clearer than it appears to me now.
For some reason the book resonates with me on so many levels, it is a little surreal.

May you find a good book to get lost in today/this weekend, or this week.

And God Bless you too.
