1.Grab the nearest book.
2.Open the book to page 123.
3.Find the fifth sentence.
4.Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5.Don't you dare dig for that 'cool' or 'intellectual' book in your closet! I know what you are thinking! Just pick up whatever is closest.
Okay, so the closest at hand was Stephen Gallagher's "Out of his Mind" collection:
"He's winding us up again," she said. "They don't have peep shows for women. Watching blokes jiggling around starkers to disco music, you wouldn't keep still for laughing."
"I didn't say anything about being part of the show," Raymond said. "I was maintenance."
Anyway, time to finish my pint then off to bed... toodle-pip.

Cool, the nearest book to hand on my PC desk is my own 'Flames of Herakleitos'
I don't keep books to hand in this room or I'd never get any writing done. However, here are the sentences I found in my own stuff!
'She sat back down, ‘what does a chicken look like then?’ she asked as she checked the chicken-leg again and started to raise it to her mouth once more.
‘Well it has feathers, two wings, two legs… and a head like a frog.’
Lucy closed her mouth and pointed the leg at him, ‘ever tried eating something like this through a different orifice?’
Chris, Excuse the blatant advertising :)
Bob, you missed an obvious joke in your book there... she should've asked, "what does a chicken taste like then?" :)
