That Book Meme
- Grab the nearest book.
- Open the book to page 123.
- Find the fifth sentence.
- Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
- Don't search around and look for the "coolest" book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.
"Should I take the chance of destroying her equilibrium forever?"
Via Dustbury
The sentence is from "The Dead Zone" by Stephen King. I haven't actually finished the book yet, but I feel fairly sure I can inform you that whoever "she" is, her equilibrium was destroyed forever. If "she" even survived. It is a Stephen King novel, after all.

Okay, but you may not care for it much:
And for the evildoing of those of Jewry, We have forbidden them certain good things that were permitted to them, and for their barring from God's way many, and for their taking usury, that they were prohibited, and consuming the wealth of the people in vanity; and We have prepared for the unbelievers among them a painful chastisement.
The Koran Interpreted, translation by A. J. Arberry; 4:158. I had it out the other day as a reference for something else, and it was closest to the computer.
