Don’t you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.


The nearest book doesn't have a page 123 - it's a Penguin Great Ideas abridged edition of St Augustine's Confessions of a Sinner, and it goes up to page 114.

Instead, you get the book beneath it:

'There is always a risk that I'm going to get caught. I think that most of my women colleagues know I'm gay, and there's not much I can do about that. Many of them are gay themselves, and those that aren't don't make an issue about it.'

-- from We can't even march straight: Homosexuality in the British Armed Forces by Edmund Hall, published 1995. The above is reported speech from a female army captain.
