Friday 56 - Tomorrow Land Edition

Friday 56 is a fun meme from Freda's Voice.
Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56.
*Find any sentence, (or few, just don't spoil it) that grabs you.
*Post it.

This week my Friday 56 comes from Tomorrow Land by Mari Mancusi.

"The shelves nearby were stacked with discounted electronics, yellow bouncy ball signs declaring which products were currently - or four years ago, in this case - on special. A long row of checkouts, manned by silent cash register sentinels, stretched off into the distance. In short, it was a barren wasteland of dust-caked commercialism, a vivid reminder of how the world once was."

  1. Great Friday 56! Thanks for sharing....I like reading books like this, but sometimes the thought of these lands that the authors create becoming a reality is a bit scary. Enjoy your week :)
