123rd page meme
Aug. 10th, 2006 05:48 amArtemis Rich, the famous blogger and pusher of wetsuits, tagged me! Because I'm up at 5am, everyone is out of my way and I can do this one.
Book, page 123, sentences 5-8
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of it and the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. 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.
6. Tag three people
"First he tried cow-bells. He made a collection which filled five large salons, and comprehended all the different sorts of cow-bells that ever had been contrived, save one. That one--an antique, and the only specimen extant--was possessed by another collector."
This quote is funny to me because it's fiction, and I don't have time to luxuriate in fiction reading lately. I read the book years ago, and was in the process of rearranging the office so it happens to be on the top of the stack. If I'd reached in the other direction (yes, there are lots of books within reaching distance from my desk!) I would have been quoting from a parenting guide instead.
I'll put the book in my comments in case you want to guess before finding out what it was.
I want everyone to do this, but I'm tagging kathykat, hallsl and glooms. Let me know if you do this in your own LJ, or feel free to do it here too.
