Book meme

I've been tagged by Writing as Eliza to do this meme, on one of my favorite topics, books!

Pick up the nearest book of 123 pages or more: The book closest to me at the moment is People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks.

Find Page 123: Okay
Find the first 5 sentences: ok......1, 2, 3, 4, 5......

Post the next three sentences:

"Probably he disgusted her. Certainly he disgusted himself. Like the meat. Rotten. Rotting inside." (okay so do phrases count?)

BTW, if you haven't read this book, do so...it's a riveting story.

I'm supposed to tag five people, but I'm not sure I can think of five people who haven't already done this. But if you haven't, and want to, consider yourself tagged.

Just finished LISTENING to this book on CD, which may be an even better experience than reading it, since it's brilliantly read by Edwina Wren, a complete unknown with a fabulous range of authentic accents -- I loved it!

Oh! I'm so glad you like this book. I'm putting it on my must read list right now. :)
