page 123 meme
Jan 24th, 2008 by learningumbrella
I’ve been tagged by Tara for a book meme.
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.
I’ll play along! Well, I’m in my kitchen, so the book nearest me is … Bad Guys Don’t Have Birthdays: Fantasy Play at Four. You thought it would be a cookbook? I’ve got books sitting all over this house! It’s a mess! Anyway, there aren’t 123 pages in Bad Guys. Bummer.
Okay, if I look farther to my left I see … Madame Bovary. That has more than 123 pages!
Here you go:
“Do you feel sick?” he asked, coming closer with an anxious air. “Probably something you ate. You ought to go home, Madame Bovary, and drink a little tea.”
Now, I will tag anyone who is interested in doing this. If you read this, and you want to do it, consider yourself tagged!
“Going on sunset, we three sat on the back lawn in low wooden chairs with canted backs under a poplar treee. The chairs were aimed to look down-valley, along prospect toward the bule west. Featherstone uncorked French claret, the bottle held tight between his knees.”
from the book I am reading for my book club, “Thirteen Moons” by Charles Frazier.
Fun. I am going to pass this on…
