Book Tagging - or a history of linkages over the past 4 days.

Yolanda just tagged me! I've never been tagged before but this is truly fascinating because I've been trying to follow the trail of tags and it's interesting that over the course of just four days, there's probably been at least 20 different tags, and so many good books I would love to get my hands on!

It's like a 'leftist looney circle' really.... ;)

The instructions:
Find the nearest book.
Turn to page 123.
Go to the fifth sentence on the page.
Copy out the next three sentences and post to your blog.
Name the book and the author, and tag three more folks.

So, I'm cheating a little Yolanda, because the first two books on my desk were "Animal Farm" and the "Communist Manifesto" neither of which are even 90 pages long! Turning to page 123 would be a little difficult.

I'm going with a third book, the one I'm currently reading:

"The cook went back to the post office. 'You are getting the letters wet. Taking no care.'"
- The Inheritance of Loss, by Kiran Desai

And these are the people I am tagging:

Mandos, Sparkle, Ministry of Love and Simply Wondered, I chose four in case someone doesn't want to be tagged!

Whoa...your three sentences were simple and short.

This was really fun. :-)

I was hoping that I could use the paragraph before these three sentences... it was about an Indian character being ignored by Americans!!! But, I was already 'cheating' so I didn't want to cheat again! so you got three lame sentences from an okay novel! :P
