This week's theme is Male Person: a description of a man or boy.

Here's mine about a parson/pastor from Tristram Shandy by Laurence Sterne (p. 20):

--he chose rather to join in the laugh against himself; and as he never carried one single ounce of flesh upon his own bones, being altogether as spare a figure as his beast, --he would sometimes insist upon it that the horse was as good as the rider deserved;--that they were centaur-like,--both of a piece.

    Ooo, this one has been on my TBR list for a long time, I've heard great things about it!

    Mine is from The Rose Without a Thorn, which is a book about Katherine Howard.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
