attack of the meme
So over two months ago, Ron over at Reactuate tagged me with this meme, and I have not had the chance to sit down at a computer with a book up until... well... now. Life is a bear sometimes. Regardless, here is how it works:
1. Pick up the nearest book of 123 pages or more. No cheating!
2. Find page 123.
3. Find the first five sentences.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.
Well, here are my three sentences:
Microphones pointed like so many gun barrels toward the quick-moving animal. They heard more moans form the distant foliage. Obviously, a good-sized troop was here.
Hm. Well. That was significantly less-interesting than it could have been, given that it comes from Michael Crichton's book Next.
And now who to tag... Andy, over at Andy's Blog, oddly enough (if only to get him to start posting again); Dirtcrashr at Anthroblogogy; Rosemary at, strangely enough, Rosemary's Thoughts; David from Random Nuclear Strikes ; and, just for the fun of it, Uncle, writing from Say Uncle.
What is it with people and self-titular weblogs?
