I just happen to have a masterpiece nearby

Bill tasked me to Pick up your nearest book and go to page 123. Find the fifth sentence, and post on your blog the next three sentences. Acknowledge who tagged you, and then tag five more people.

Here is the sixth, seventh and eighth sentences of page 123 of To Kill a Mockingbird:

The door was opened, and the gust of warm air revived us. Zeebo lined On Jordan’s Stormy Banks, and church was over. I wanted to stay and explore, but Calpurnia propelled me up the aisle ahead of her.

I got it out of the library because I heard the woman who played Scout in the movie on MPR. I loved every page.

No tutorial system devised by man could have stopped him from getting at books.

I am learning what to think about it by reading some study guides.

I’ll task the following people with this exercise

Long Burn
Papa Twister
Sam
Steve
Alex

    Tim,

    I’ve been playing a related game with books. It’s called “The Koran.”

    Me and my friend Johnny Rotten Shoes play it.

    You ask a pressing question and then go to your favorite book (mine is a literary-ish history book about the NBA in the 1960s called “The Rivalry,”/Johnny Rotten Shoes’ is an M.F.K. Fisher book), and you open to a random page and drop your finger on a random paragraph and read for the answer.
