I got tagged by Julie.
The rules of the game:
1. Find the nearest book to you.
2. Name the book and author.
3. Turn to page 123.
4. Go to the fifth sentence on the page.
5. Copy out the next 3 sentences and post to your blog.
6. Tag three other people.
Nearest book (found in the pocket of my chair's armrest): "Bloody Jack: Being an Account of the Curious Adventures of Mary 'Jacky' Faber, Ship's Boy."
Author: L. A. Meyer
Three Sentences on p. 123: "I can see this is going nowhere and pipes up that all the tattoos got to be in the same place on each of us or it ain't a Brotherhood thing, and it's got to be hidden and secret from everyone 'cept us so's we can swear secret oaths on our tattoos and reveal them only to each other when we're down in dungeons and stuff and hideously disfigured so we couldn't be recognized any other way, and it makes sense to them and we decide on the right hipbone up front just before it meets the belly.
"Before they can change their minds I go up to Roderigo and jam the two pence in his fist and pull down the top of my pants a few inches to expose my hipbone and say, 'Put it there.'
"Roderigo pockets the coins and takes out a needle and a bottle of ink and sets to."
Although it's got nothing on "The Crucible," this book has quite the long sentences, doesn't it? Stream of consciousness will do that.
I tagg Kelly T. (haha, I'm funny), Molly, and Cheryl.
