Every day in every way I am getting better and better . . . with a little help from my friends. Today I learn to follow the rules. Here they are:

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next three sentences in your journal along with these instructions. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
5. Tag five other people to do the same.

Well, the nearest book is a biography of the nineteenth-century philosopher Soren Kierkegaard , written by Joakim Garff. I've been reading it on and off for about one year now; more off than on.

"Peter Christian noted the details of the event in his diary: 'April 2, 1826, fire broke out in the Kalisch house -- ours was greatly damaged.' A fire had broken out that night at a chemical laboratory, part of the pharmacy in Frederiksberggade that shared a courtyard with the Kierkegaard home. The alarm sounded at 1:15 in the morning but by the time the fire company arrived the pharmacy was completely engulfed in flames, and people were afraid it was the start of another huge fire in the city.
