Book Meme


As seen on Purdy Pitchers
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.
There are no books next to me except for one in my office drawer collecting dust, which is "Baudolino". I got the following from the algorithm provided
"...Every two minutes the whole thing collapsed"

I tried it with my sister's history book, but there was no text on p.123, so I switched to the next-closest book: David Myers' Psychology.

Sentence 5 reads: But they can't, so psychologists let behavior do the talking.

I think this is a stupid game. I quit.

'these two have been settled' is the fifth line from the nearest book which turns out to be 'Ayoni and other stories'.
Go. Figure. i guess.
Its like in 'Illusions' (Richard Bach) where he opens this book at random and whtever he reads is supposedly ery relevant to his situation in life...
well pg 123 and sentence 5 of Ayoni makes no sense to my life situation at all.
