As most of you will know, I don’t do memes. However, my good friend John Picacio has tagged me, and because he’s a pal (and he’s just done a favor for my friends at Borderlands Books), I shall carry out the instructions.

So, the book I’m currently reading is Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay. I go to page 123 and find the fifth sentence. It reads:

Or Brandin’s, Sandre echoed.

See, the gods of chance know that I don’t do memes either. I shall refrain from tagging anyone, least they end up with a sentence even shorter and less interesting.

Of course, if I were a responsible blogger I’d search through my entire library to find a book with an interesting fifth sentence on page 123, but most of my library is in California, and look what happens when I try the books I have here.

In Jeffrey Ford’s The Shadow Year the fifth sentence on page 123 is, “A terrible drunk.”

In Glenda Larke’s Song of the Shiver Barrens the fifth sentence on page 123 is, “‘Tarran.”

And Richard Morgan’s Black Man does not have five complete sentences on page 123.

I think I had better stop before I inadvertently cause the destruction of the universe.
