It's the book meme this time, courtesy of Elaine. In case you haven't encountered this particular meme before, here are the rules:
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 along with these instructions.
5. Don’t you dare dig for that “cool” or “intellectual” book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.
Seeing as I'm sitting at my desk in the study, there are four bookcases around me, and, as it happens, a small pile of paperbacks on my desk itself. The topmost book is...
The Stealer of Souls, by Michael Moorcock (Granada, UK, 1981).
Ahem.
"In the shadows of the awful trees, figures moved with shambling caution. The misshapen men of Org began to creep inwards towards the sleepers. Then Elric opened his eyes, aroused by instinct, stared at Zarozinia's sleeping face beside him, moved his eyes without turning his head and saw the danger. He rolled over, grasped Stormbringer and tugged the runeblade from its sheath."
Riveting stuff, eh? Bet you can't wait to know what happens next!
And for my next trick I tag:
Mike
G-Man
Downunderpants
TobyToby
Ms Fits
Djali
Queer Penguin
Fangirl

Glad you didnt tag me I tried it and mine was soooo bad, though it is from a great book about Tao. It was all about flowers blooming and inner beauty. Sounds like it belongs on the back of a toilet door in a cursive type on a soft colourful ink washed background of a meadow.
can you please tag me, nobody ever tags me, and it's my birthday tomorrow. I want that book tag so badly! I will blog more soon I promise, if you tag me. It's just.....my life kinda exploded into a million particals in the last fornight and it's hard to keep track of it all right now.
Page 123 had 3 sentences on it?
Fletcher, I was amazed it even had 123 pages!
