"Today the room's bursting with reporters, family and friends of the victims, and, more than anything else, a lust for blood. The parents of the three dead boys stare at me with powerful hatred, and Lucinda Walker, Michael's mom, who've I've known since she was a grade-school student at Saint Vincent's, looks at me as if she doesn't know what to think. I cried for her last night."
(From "Beach Road", by Peter De Jong. This is where I must confess that I did this at work, while all my own books are at home -- all I had were four magazines: Writer's Digest, MacAddict, and two copies of Firehouse. So, I stole a coworkers book, instead.)
In turn, I simply tag anyone else who wants to play.
