Books A quick Book Challenge

Grabbing the book closest on my shelf...

Here's a very fun excerpt I am sure everyone wants to hear from 'Cases & Materials on International Law' by Martin Dixon & Robert McCorquodale. I keep all my educational textbooks on the part of the bookshelf closest to my desk:

"In multilateral treaties, the rights and obligations of each party in respect of each of the other parties may vary significantly, especially due to reservations to the terms of the treaty given by each party"

I actually got this textbook when I was in HS for super cheap at a book fair because I somehow convinced myself I would read up textbooks on international law? Maybe it'll be a prescribed reading for one of my classes one day but I never did get around to reading through 600 pages of it...

Anyway I think I'll now pick the closest fiction book to me as that was not the most exciting excerpt :D

The peak looked to him exactly like a giant fist, with the thumb sticking straight up.
 
'In the run up to the American Revolution, prosaic grievances such as the Townshend Duties and the Stamp Act were transmutted into occassions for popular resistence to British oppression.'
 
"Well to tell you the truth, I did not like to bother you with a lot of us, until I found out if
you were busy."
 
"Merry and Pippin suspected that he visited the Elves at times, as Bilbo had done."
