yet another book meme
The first place I saw this book meme was at feministe.us (a weblog I mean to visit more often, because I always find something interesting there). The rules:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don’t search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what’s actually next to you.
Here's my sentence from page 123 of Sherwood's The Book of Splendor:
"When the emperor sneezes, we must all take to our beds."If you don't have a weblog, post your 123.5 to the comments, here. Maybe something interesting will happen. A prose poem, full of buttery yellow daffodils and broken wheel axels.
