Page 123, Fifth Sentence
A couple of people tagged me over the weekend, with the latest book meme going the rounds. I don't usually participate in memes but this one appealed, so here goes...

(1) Grab the nearest book, turn to Page 123 and blog the fifth sentence.

They relied on extreme and unnatural features appearing on the surface of the corpse, which would simply indicate that an alien substance had been used.

from Murder in Shakespeare's England by Vanessa McMahon


(2) Tag five other people to play along.

I tag...

I'll follow through later. You're going to laugh. I'm at work and without getting up the only book I could consider near is... The SGML Implementation Guide by Travis Waldt (Which I actually have never opened before today) The 5th sentence on page 123 says.

"An SGML implementation project can be broken logically into the following phases:

1. Requirements evaluation and system selection
2. Design, development and testing
3. Implementation
4. Production"

Now I will put it back in the overhead bin to collect more dust....

All rightee then! A little bizarre, but what the hey. The closest book within reach (right next to my computer on my desk at home)

"His face, ordinarily a trusting blank surmounted by tousled yellow curls, is creased with worry."

From The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay
by Michael Chabon

I forgot to do this yesterday! Anyway, the fifth sentence on page 123 from Lance Parkin's AHistory is:

"Notably, he doesn't so much as comment that they've been redesigned - something that might be relevant to say, if one is evaluating the capabilities of the alien invaders that are besieging one's moonbase."
