The Book Meme
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your LJ 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.
6. Tag five people.
When a gale blows down an elm tree, but leaves an oak standing, we do not believe that the gale alone caused the elm to fall. The gale merely advanced an event that would probably have occured a few months or years later in any case. However the gale dictated the direction in which the elm fell, which might in turn set off a further chain of events.
I'm at work, so the choice of books isn't very interesting - I was going to do the meme at home instead but wondered what the result would be if I did it here. In fact these sentences out of context sound rather philosophical, and as if they might have come from a novel!
I'd give a prize for guessing the book, but i'd be shocked if anyone knew it or had even seen a copy of the book let alone read it.
I'm not into tagging - do the meme if you feel like it!
