I know I've done at leat one of these in the past -- but the answer to this one keeps changing. :)
  1. Grab the nearest book.

  2. Open the book to page 123.

  3. Find the fifth sentence.

  4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.

  5. Don't search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.


'If we could last till dawn, we should win clear," Uthecar said.

I'm virtually certain no one's read this one. Very few people have even heard of Alan Garner.

Not part of the meme, but one of my favorite bits: from a parish ledger, dated 1617, which one of the characters was reading.

Item to a pretended Irish gentleman: 1s. 6d.
Item to a woman yt was dumpe: 6d.
Item spent when I did goe throw ye town to warne those to bring in ye wrishes yt had neglected on ye wrish burying day: 4d.
Item given to a Majer yt had been taken by ye French and was runeated by them: 1s.


The title of the chapter is 'To a Woman yt was Dumpe'.

In fact Alan Garner is very popular. He's known as the author of children's books for adults.
