bookshelf roulette

[Idril]

I'll ask what book is on a random place on your bookshelf, for example, 3rd shelf/10th book, for me, that would be Cider House Rules by John Irving and when you answer, pick a new random place.

The next person can stay with the 3rd shelf/10th book and then pick a new slot when they answer...does that make any sense? It does in my mind, but I'm not always good at transferring that kind of clarity. ;) :rolleyes:

What's on the middle shelf in the very middle?

I have five shelves per book case. If someone says middle shelf, that would be my third, but the second of one with only three. If someone has four, six, etc., they should find the middle book on the two middle shelves. For me, second up from middle would be my second, while the first for one with three or four levels. Maybe we could ask in this way, counting away from top, middle, or bottom, so that those with different configurations all adapt in peculiar fashion.

It's a short but fascinating read. A group of Archaeologists and anthropologists in the 1940s decided to prove that some of the population of micronesia or polynesia or something were descended from south american tribes. They did this by building a raft using methods and materials which would have been avalible to the ancient South Americans and, get this, sailing (ALL BY THEMSELVES with no life jackets or backup boats or people sailing beside them or anything!!!!) across the Pacific Ocean. And the best part is its all true. I loved it!
