A Book Exercise  

from apophenia:

A BOOK EXERCISE

From Caterina:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.

Just as we are afraid of ghosts and of the God of the panopticon insofar as they are imaginary non-entities - that is, because they do not exist - so, according to lacan, we love God precisely because he does not exist.

I had to fudge it. The first two books i picked up didn't have 5 sentences on page 23. Leave it to Derrida and JL Austin to have rather long sentences that fill the page. Thus, i went with Bentham's "The Panopticon Writings" (which were out due to a recent debate with my roommate).

Here is a summary of C statements, in terms of keywords.

"The Waite Group's Microsoft C Bible"

Damn, am I a geek or what? At least a bytehead? <SNORT>
