On the 123rd page of the 1st book

Posted on Friday, March 28th, 2008 in books, waffle Tags: ,

Picked this up from Caught in the Stream although he wasn’t explicitly tagging anyone; I just wanted a go.

  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.

Stef Penney - The Tenderness of WolvesThe top one of the pile of library books next to my desk was Stef Penney’s The Tenderness of Wolves:

As for the other things, he had to take them to survive. He would have taken the gun too, if he had seen it. Another part of him - the part that echoes the boys he endured through the long years at the village school - says, what would you have done with it if you had?

Tagging… hmm, the usual suspects of Bebo Author and Cavantucky (to give them a reason to post if nothing else!) plus anyone else who wants to.

    I’m going to do it for the sole reason that I feel guilty about disappearing from the blogosphere - not that one post will redeem me. ;)
