Book tag
Pickled Olives tagged me.
1. Grab the book closest to you.
2. Open to page 123, go down to the fifth sentence
3. Post the text of next 3 sentences on your blog
4. Name of the book and the author
5. Tag three people
The book closest to me is If Your Dog Could Talk... A training guide for humans by Bruce Fogle, which I'm using for reference/research.
There are just six real sentences on p.123, so the only one after the first five is: "Less conveniently, some dogs may also do the same with your slippers."
I won't tag anyone, but do it if you want to. Let me know if you do, so I can check you out. Cheers.

ha- what an interesting line! I wonder what the previous 5 lines are. Now, I'm going to hasve to get this book to ease my curiosity.
Thanks for playing!
i figured i'd just do it here in your comments, so here goes... closest book to me is The Pocket Muse (it's always at arm's length when i'm writing) but it doesn't have page numbers and i'm NOT going to count to 123... so next closest is Birds of America by Lorrie Moore...
"Bill, divorced only once, is here tonight with Debbie, a woman who is too young for him: at least that is what he knows is said, though the next time it is said to his face, Bill shout, "I beg your pardon!" Maybe not shout. Maybe squeak."
Merry Christmas, *!

p.s. that line above should say "Bill will shout"
Olives: A pleasure!
Martha: Thank you. That's an intriguing three sentences... Merry Christmas to you, too, pet.
July's People - Nadine Gordimer
"If they come over here, those what-you-call-it, the people from Soweto they bring them, they eat his mealies, they hungry, kill a cow - what he's going to do? Can't do nothing. Talking, talking..."
Thanks for playing along, Radmila. Cool sentences.
