I´ve been tagged again with the book meme. This time by Die Sprachspielerin, a German blogger. So I´m taking the chance to post another one:
I picked up the autobiographical graphic memoir Fun Home by Alison Bechdel, which I just bought a few days ago:
1.) Pick up the nearest book of (at least 123 pages).A wonderful quote:
2.) Open the book to page 123.
3.) Find the fifth sentence. (I took sentences 1 to 3, as there weren´t enough sentences on that page.)
4.) Post the next three sentences.
5.) Tag five people. (Fell free to tag yourself.)
"Und in gewisser Hinsicht könnte man behaupten, dass das Ende meines Vaters mein Anfang war.I´ll try to translate this (Does anybody have an English copy of the comic?):
Genauer gesagt, das Ende seiner Lüge fiel mit dem Beginn meiner Wahrheit zusammen.
Denn auch ich hatte lange Zeit in der Lüge gelebt."
"And in a way, one could state that the end of my father was my beginning.
More specifically, the end of his lie coincided with the beginning of my truth.
For I had also long lived in falsehood."
