What Are You Reading?

Inigo, at the age of twenty-seven, began having a few extra glasses of wine at night, to help him get to sleep. At twenty-eight, he was having a few extra glasses to help him digest his lunch. At twenty-nine, the wine was essential to wake him up in the morning.

- William Goldman’s The Princess Bride

As tagged by the wonderful Mallory.

The rules are:

1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people, and acknowledge who tagged you.

I officially tag Catherine, Diana, Bryan, Bronwyn, and CJ- but I would love to hear from everyone.
If you don’t want to post this in your blog, or you don’t have one, OR I didn’t “officially” tag you, go ahead and leave the comment so I can see what you’re reading!

I don’t usually do these things but this one seemed kind of neat. =)
It’s a cool way to share what book you’re reading. I’m wondering if anyone will post anything I recognise.

That is an excellent bit of book.

Also, though I hardly need to say this: the layout is not my creation. I just tweaked it a bit.

I pretty much you the same base for months and months and just tweak the images and colors. But then I get bored with the base and need to move on. =)

It’s the way we work.

No blog. Also, the closest book was on rhetorical theory, so I opted to just look for some fiction; considerably easier to digest.

It’s so neat to imagine what was happening just before or just after. I love sentence fragments.

Hilda snorted. “That’s it? Play her silly game and hope we win?”
The TV remote control reappeared, floating a few inches away from a globe of the Earth.

It clicked, and small replicas of Libby’s mall began to dot the planet’s surgace, thickening until no spot on the globe remained free of them.
