Caught a link through PLSJ to a little fun with instant bibliomancy (the art of foretelling the future by reading random passages from books). Here’s what you do:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
Here’s mine:
“The point is that the profit motive was combined with other motives that were self-serving and altrusitic, and even evangelistic, at times.”
– E. Eisenstein, The printing press as an agent of change.
