Book meme
I got tagged...
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4-7 sentences on your LJ 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 (unless it's too troublesome to reach and is really heavy. Then go back to step 1).
6. Tag five people.
It amused me that sentence 5 on page 123 was the main character picking up a book. *g* That's from "Jumper" by Steven Gould. (Technically, the nearest book to me was an art book, but there aren't enough words on page 123 to do the meme.)
I'm not going to tag anyone, but feel free to do it if it looks like fun.

I tried to pick up a book that I'd been reading the day before, but it was no good. I couldn't concentrate and the words crawled on the page.
I put on my coat and jumped to Minnesota.
"I saw a tanker truck on its side west of here. Strange accident."
The waitress put my coffee down. "Yeah, one of our regular customers. Apparently he fell asleep and went off the road."

The closest book to hand is actually volume 2 of Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine. No way I'm subjecting anyone to that! ;-P

Nice idea though (if potentially embarrassing!). And your choice couldn't have been more perfect - funny how coincidence works like that sometimes!
