Yep, this is making the rounds (again). I snatched it from Sparkling Red. Fortunately, this time I had a different book lying around. (I’m not tagging but you are welcome to feel tagged.)
Rules:
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.
