Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Seen this on a few blogs & thought I’d give it a go (it’s got nothing to do with the fact I’ve got nothing else to report…honestly):
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don't dig out that "cool" or "intellectual" book, just go with the flow & pick the book closest to you right now!
After I finished "Farewell, Black River" and "The Drunken Concubine", His Majesty wanted more. I begged his pardon and explained that I was not prepared. "One last song".
Now wasn’t that enlightening?! A mystery prize will be awarded for the first person to correctly guess which book it comes from (and yes, it’s from a book I’m reading at the moment).
Me on a good day

You look like Marilyn, I look like Joe DiMaggio... :-) No idea on the book, I would say 19th or 18th century but I bet its trying to be classical and is really modern lit.

Ha! Marilyn & Joe; It must be fate! Now, do you mean 19th or 18th century when it was written, or when it was set? (Not that I'm trying to start a conversation or anything...)
