This is from Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt. I'm probably the only person in the world who hasn't read this yet.
Dad says, Cuchulain fought to the end like the men of Easter Week. His enemies were afraid to go near him till they were sure he was dead and when the bird landed on him and drank his blood they knew.
mmmmmmmmmm, doesn't that just make breakfast go down easier?

Oh. Yum. I really need to read that book though. I've heard so many good things about it.
Here is mine
Here's my post:
And I've got a brain. In fact, my momma assured me on countless occasions that I have a good head on my shoulders. Then she would follow up with something along the lines of, "I wish you would use it occasionally." And she was right.

Nope, I haven't read Angela's Ashes yet either. I found it at a garage sale a few weeks ago, so I have it now, but haven't started it yet!
And BTW I like the Friday 56, it's something to do on Friday when I have nothing else to do... LOL Like that ever happens...
Here is my link. Sorry so late.

I've not read this book either. It's one that I should, but never seems to entice me enough to actually start it. That teaser was a good one though!
Hi Tonya! Don't worry about losing me this summer! This is still one of the memes that I will probably be doing. Even though I always forget to come back here and leave my link up!
I would like to join Page 56. And I love the picture of Aurora. Is she a Collie or a Shetland Sheepdog? We have been having Shetland Sheepdogs since I was 6. They are my mom's favorite breed of dog.

Aurora is a collie. She's 4 years old and the life of every party! Welcome! Join anytime, post to any Friday 56 that you like! I'll check out your blog soon.
Tonya-
My blog is under "construction". I lost my Gmail address (I don't know how) and while I was able to get my e-mail address, I wasn't able to go back to my old blog, so I had to start a new one. I even had to put a follower box to my challenges blogs; which are A Fairy Tale Challenge, Hobbits, Warrows, and Other Mythologlogical Creatures, and Eletronic Book Challenge. My main book blog's main address is: http://intergalaticbookworm92.blogspot.com
