1. Pick up the nearest book of 123 pages or more. No cheating!
2. Find page 123.
3. Find the first five sentences.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.


Everyone else has also invited their readers to guess the book.

Ha. No. I never did take the GRE, though I took an older version of the biology one informally during my undergrad. Never did find out how I did on that...

These sentences came from the Relaxation and Stress Reduction Handbook. ;-) Which I haven't had the time and energy to read, heh.

You have won a hanyou trap fully loaded with ramen, instruction in understanding some ancient sutra or other (something about karma?)from a devout young monk, and a year's supply of Rice-A-Ronie, the San Fransisco Treat.
