The Page 99 Test
I was recently asked to contribute to The Page 99 Test, which is a blog based on this quote: “Open the book to page ninety-nine and read, and the quality of the whole will be revealed to you.” –Ford Madox Ford
When Marshal Zeringue, the creator of the blog, asked me to contribute, I perused the blog and found that I would be in some esteemed company. Just a few recent contributors:
Michael S. Gazzaniga’s “Human: The Science Behind What Makes Us Unique
Thomas B. Cavanagh’s “Prodigal Son”
Jonathan Evison’s “All About Lulu”
But before saying yes, however, I thought I better check page 99 of Slackonomics just to be sure I was going to pass the test! I’m happy to say, not only is one of the more salient topics on page 99, I quote my friend and another Page 99 contributor, author Elizabeth Currid (whose work I blogged about here as well).
