I was tagged by Shannon. This tag is different from all of those I have seen. Here's how it works:
1. Pick up the nearest book (one of at least 123 pages)
2. Open the page to 123
3. Find the 5th sentence.
4. Post the next 3 sentences
5. Tag 5 people.
The book closest to me is Wicked, by Gregory Maguire. I have not read this entire book. I don't even recommend it. I *love* the musical. How they got such great inspiration from this book is beyond me. I RARELY start a book and not finish it. I did that with this book. It's very weird, a bit raunchy, and just overall icky. The musical is not like that. I am hoping that page 123 is an okay page...
"So the boys took to swimming and rowing with the girls. Boq tried to fan in himself an interest in Shenshen or Pfannee, who certainly were coquettish enough. But they both seemed besotted with Avaric."
I tag Bonnie, Jodi, Terica, Sariah, and TEACHER JILL (who needs to come out of the blogging closet and just start posting comments. :)

Paige-
I just saw Wicked Friday night! I LOVED it! I want to go again! I got the book (a few months ago) and started to read it. I kept thinking, "this is terrible, why does everyone like the musical so much?" I didn't make it past the first few chapters, I am not planning to finish it.
I had no idea there was a book. Well I'm glad that I know that now, and that I should stay far, far away. I wouldn't want anything to taint my play-going experience!
I'm glad you were able to post the three sentences without any 'raunch' or 'ickyness' ;)
