The 27th book on my Kerouac bookshelf is Jack Kerouac's Wake Up: A Life of the Buddha (Penguin Books, 2009), and the 27th sentence (in honor of today being the 27th day of the month) is:
They made many winsome moves, dropped casual shoulder silks, snaked their arms, arched their eyes, danced suggestively, caressed his wrists, some even pretended to be blushingly confused and removed roses from their bosoms crying "Oh is this yours or mine, youthful prince?" but in his mindfulness of woe the Prince was unmoved.
I'll let you read the book for context. As to the above cartoon, Peanuts is currently about Snoopy reading War and Peace at the rate of one word a day. It kind of reminds me of the silly little project (soon to be over) that we have embarked upon: sort of Kerouac in a sentence a day.
Good luck, Snoopy.
