The Friday 56 is a weekly meme which is hosted by Freda's Voice. The objectives of this meme are :
- Grab a book, any book.
- Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader
- Find any sentence, (or few, just don't spoil it) that grab you.
- Post it.
So here is my post......
I have chosen this snippet from Dead Until Dark (Book 1: Sookie Stackhouse) by Charlaine Harris.

“'As to how I became a vampire, that's too long a story for now,' he said. 'But yes, when I was younger - a few times - I killed by accident. I was never sure when I'd get to eat again, you understand? We were always hunted, naturally and there was no such thing as artifical blood. And there were not as many people then. But I had been a good man when I was alive - I mean, before I caught the virus. So I tried to be civilised about it, select bad people as my victims, never feed on children. I managed never to kill a child, at least. It's so different now. I can go to the all-night clinic in any city and get some synthetic blood, though its disgusting. Or I can pay a whore and get enough blood to keep going for a couple of days. Or I can glamour someone, so they'll let me bite them for love and then forget all about it. And I don't need so much now.'„
