1. Pick up the nearest book of at least 123 pages.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.

I would like to explain to Khonz that I totally forgot I was tagged.  Yeah, such is the busy life of a bum.   

Ahem.  So here I go.  

1.  There are 5 books that are in one pile closest to me.  This means... I am confused.  Debating which to pick up, I examine which one is at least a centimeter closer. 

a: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People;
b: Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World;
c: Epic;
d: Reader's Digest;
e: Wuthering Heights

I decide on a, not because it was closest, but because of the following:

This book, I never got past chapter two.  And if I play along with this meme, something universal might just be revealed to me.

2-3.  The fifth sentence goes:

An understanding of the principle of our own growth enables us to search out correct principles with the confidence that the more we learn, the more clearly we can focus the lens through which we see the world.

On that, I had recently been reading this book entitled "How to Speak and Write Better".  The author of book A is making us readers suffer, when he should bear in mind we are not that forgiving.  He should have remembered that he was writing for readers who were ineffective in the first place, people who probably had no patience to read that sentence a hundred times. No wonder I never got past chapter two.  This book sucked.  

4.  The next three sentences go:

The principles don't change; our understanding of them does.

The wisdom and guidance that accompany principle-centered living come from correct maps, from the way things really are, have been, and will be.

Correct maps enable us to clearly see where we want to go and how to get there.

I should remove my bookmark from this book already.

5.  Now I tag five people.  If you are not chosen, it does not mean I don't like you, or that you have no place in my heart.  I will be choosing by the following criteria:

5.1- that you will do this meme without a second thought;
5.2- or that you will have second thoughts but will do this anyway because I SAY SO. 

And so I tag...

Lenibee, Racstar, Banuk, Reggie, Isocetin. 

Reggie, it is actually acceptable that you pass.  It is because I play favorites.
