Book Meme

I was tagged by The Diva for this one...

The game is to
* Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
* Open the book to page 123.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post the next three sentences.
* Tag five people.

I got this meme while I was at work and there were no books there with 123 pages. So when I went home I picked up "Breakfast With Champions" - Kurt Vonegut. The Diva lent it to me to read, she said I'd like it. I believe her but I still have touble picking it up and getting started. Why? Because of this... Anyway I'm more enticed about it now so maybe this weekend I'll get into it. Here's the excerpt:

"It was collapsing into all the holes withch had been dug into it. Its mountains, which had once found it easy to stand by themselves, were sliding into valleys now.

The demolition of West Virgina had taken place with the approval of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the State Government, which drew their power from the people."

Here are my tags, I'm just doing a few, everyone else I know has already been tagged:
Crazy Blonde (I'll get her to participate one of these times...)
Melsie (If she ever returns to the blog world...)
and Teeni (not sure if she's already been tagged, but I tried...)

Oops - actually the Diva already got me for this one! But that's ok. I'll include you in the credits. :) I am hoping to post my memes in the next day or two. I'm finally catching up!
