Trying to be a Bookworm

I've been tagged by Fizzy Thoughts to participate in the following activity. She didn't tell me to tag anyone else, which is good, because I'm trying to figure out this blogging thing. :) So here it goes!!

RULES
Open the closest book to you, not your favorite or most intellectual book, but the book closest to you at the moment, to page 56. Write out the fifth sentence, as well as two to five sentences following there.

"Jamie and I exchanged a glance. Rooster and Stu had a history of competitive eating that could be funny or irritaing, depending on your mood. According to everyone but Rooster, it had started at Mike's ninth-grade celebration, when they'd matched each other slice for slice through one and a half pizzas each. Rooster claimed it had started years earlier, over corn dogs in their grade school cafeteria."

Kind of a strange teaser there, but the book really isn't about food. :) This is from the Book "The Dive From Clausen's Pier" by Ann Packer. I'm not good at giving myself permission to set down a book if it isn't grabbing me, but this book is the first one that I did set down. (I didn't get very far past page 56 in fact). But I will come back to it in the future. Probably after I finish others on my list!
