Meme: Pick up the nearest book; first sentence on page 45 is your love life.

Just figured we ought to move this over here. The Happy Thread is filled to bursting.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Oh, god. Why did I have to use my required reading as a mouse pad?

Legacies: Fiction, Poetry, Drama, Nonfiction. Carley Rees Bogarad and Jan Zlotnik Schmidt. Second edition.
"Where are you going, where have you been?"

Well, that's not too bad.

What book? You gotta say.


As for me...

The Man Who Loved Only Numbers (despite it being a very math-nerdy biography, it was surprisingly good. I got it as a gift from a teacher.)
"Pythagoras of Samos evidently felt the same way."

"Have you, Your Mercy, spoken with the chaplain?"

...I really have no idea. The book is Purity of Blood by Arturo Perez-Reverte.

The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie
"He wiped it carefully on the back of his hand."

If I use the last sentence of 44 that carries over to 45, it's not any better.  "The Inquisitor's left eyelid began to flutter and tears rolled down his pale cheek."

I decided to just go with the first e-book on my computer in alphabetical order that had at least 45 pages and an actual sentence:
Quote from: Basic Fantasy
Mercenaries are hired warriors.

According to Pat Bentar, Love is a Battlefield, so I guess that means it's hookers for me. Where's Sirus when you need him?

The most terrible aspect of wraith weed is the long term affects of addiction.

Having no books handy, I went for the first book in my PDF library that I could find. It happened to be a D&D book, Ghostwalk.
A love life filled with ghostly drugs sounds about right.

'The genetic information for gender (sex) is carried on two sex chromosomes.'

My dreams are not unlike yours - they long for the safety, and break like a glass chandelier.
But there's laughter and oh there is love, just past the edge of our fears.
And there's chaos when push comes to shove, but it's music to my ears.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

...implies, a signed-magnitude number has a sign as its left-most bit (also referred to as the high-order bit or the most signifcant bit) while the remaining bits represent the magnitude (or absolute value) of the numeric value.
