I’ve been tagged by Chickpea for the ‘book meme.’
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the 5th Sentence.
4. Post the next 3 sentences.
5. Tag 5 people.
The nearest book happens to be Against All Enemies: Inside America’s War on Terror by Richard Clarke.
The fifth sentence and the following two on page 123 are:
From my perspective, a commission would highlight all the shortcomings in airport security that Irish Flynn and I had been discussing. Now, however, the President [Clinton] wanted some new security measures announced immediately. I called Flynn, “Tell your lawyers they’re not going home tonight.”
It’s a decent book — I’m learning a few things I didn’t know from just reading the news. In parts, it does read like a bad thriller, but that makes it more fun.
I tag:
Tenderhooligan, James Elliott, Barefoot Bum, Sonia (welcome back!), and Sarah, to take her mind off her “weight issues.”
And of course, anyone who wants to participate.
