I can assure you, the Calvino was better. But 'Mother's Milk' is a fine book nonetheless.

Moll Flanders, Daniel Defoe

Still she 'tried' to get away... Shame she didn't, shame on you Moll, you should be a decent girl :lol:.

Oh my God, no wonder that the book was deemed indecent and banned by the pope! I like it :D. Very indecent :p.

I'd like to see the film about it. The actress said she had a great time, lying in the bed all the time and falling asleep between scenes... :D

That's got to be one of the best yet. Excellent sentence! I should read more Defoe: how about his biography of Dick Turpin?

My mother stomped off ahead, muttering, 'you're making a rod for your own bleeding backs,' as she attempted to light a cigarette in the stiff june gale.

Adrian Mole - the prostate years

[kiki1982]

That's got to be one of the best yet. Excellent sentence! I should read more Defoe: how about his biography of Dick Turpin?

If you like that one, how about this? This really made me roll on the floor yesterday (or in my bed anyway). I will spare you the story behind it which is also pretty saucy, but it's about a wedding night:

'Modesty forbids me to reveal the secrets of the marriage bed, but nothing could have happened more suitable to my circumstances than that, as above, my husband was so fuddled when he came to bed, that he could not remember in the morning whether he had had any conversation with me or no, and I was obliged to tell him he had, though in reality he had not, that I might be sure he could make no inquiry about anything else.'

:lol: :eek: So drunk you can't remember that you managed to do it or not?! And that on your wedding night where you are supposed to make sure your wife is a virgin...

Correction, 'had conversation' :p

That reminds me of a passage in Lost in Austen: not 'the night we kissed', but 'the night we... spoke'. 'Conversation' and the like must have been a regular euphemism.

Imagine it:

hubby: 'Hello my dear, did we have (a good) conversation yesterday or not?'
Moll: 'Yes, my darling, a very long one indeed.'

:lol: Modesty forbids her...

I don't know how Dick Turpin is. This is my first Defoe. I was making myself up for difficult, but I was so surprised to see that the language is pretty easy. The spelling, I think, has been updated, though.

I was a little bemused about the French, until I saw it was in Polish (the l goves everything away). I was just seeing which words I still knew from my immersion in September when I saw the translation...

Not a lot, I'm afraid... only 'wielki', 'akcie' (not too difficult), 'operacji chirurgicznej', 'do' and 'w'. I couldn't remember what 'lub' was, but I had heard it often.

[Lokasenna]

And what does it mean... :redface:

Its a bit clunky in English, but it roughly translates to "Helga was always at table (which means playing a board-game similar to chess) with Gunnlaugr."

And they say romance is dead...

[Dark Muse]

From The Dante Club by Matthew Pearl

So, I will give the resulting sentence using both page-count approaches, and counting a partial sentence as the first.

Nearest book, The Bible: "The Newberry Bible" Large Type Reference Edition.
1. Count front matter: "And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters"
2. Count text: "And Ahimelech said, 'I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but today.'"

Next nearest book: "Dandelion Wine", Ray Bradbury, Bantam Books, 1976 edition, 1985 printing
