The game:
1. Grab the nearest book to you.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your blog 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.

Einstein's Dreams by Alan Lightman (a rather wonderful book)

It ended up being page 124, because 123 was at the beginning of a chapter, and you know how that goes.

"So she waits for him, not impatiently, passing the time with a book. Some time later, perhaps on the following day, he arrives, they lock arms, walk to the gardens, stroll by the groupings of tulips, roses, martagon lilies, alpine columbines, sit on a white cedar bench for an unmeasurable time. Evening comes, marked by a change in the light, a reddening of the sky. The man and woman follow a winding path of small white stones to a restaurant on a hill. Have they been together a lifetime, or only a moment? Who can say?"

Had that specific book not been the closest one to me, the next closest in proximity is "Fat! So? Because you don't have to apologize for your size!" by Marilyn Wann. An inspirational book share with me by a dear friend. You should read it. If nothing else, it is very much amusing.
