I went to Eric’s<\/a> blog just now to enjoy some rockin’ photos and lo and behold–I found I’d been tagged! Doh!<\/p>\n

Here’s how it works:<\/p>\n

– Grab the nearest book.
– Open to page 56.
– Find the fifth sentence.
– Post the next two to five sentences in your blog with these instructions.
– Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one – pick the CLOSEST.
– Tag five other people to do the same.<\/p>\n

Okay. So I am sitting 3 feet away from an entire wall<\/span> of books. I was going to just close my eyes and point but then I remembered the handful I had recently taken off<\/span> the shelf to donate because I had either already read them or I finally admitted to myself that I would probably never read them. I grabbed the one on top. Insomnia<\/span>, by Stephen King. I have not read this book, though I love me some Stephen King. But let’s be real. This one is a “mere” 787 pages. When in the world am I going to have time to read 787 pages?! And once I start a book I am like a hermit until I finish it. I stay up all night reading. I bring it in my car and read at red lights. (It’s true.) I bring it to the dinner table and try to steal glances while my husband cuts his meat. I am ridiculous. Investing in a 787 page book right now is just not good for anybody. <\/p>\n

The title is oddly appropriate and perhaps some kind of cosmic joke since I have not slept much in the past month! Okay–enough rambling. Here it is:<\/p>\n

A little farther down the street, a little girl in jeans and an oversized white tee-short had been skipping rope and chanting in the growing gloom.<\/p>\n

“It means you’re looking folded, spindled, and mutilated,” McGovern said. He used one thumb to tilt the Panama back on his head and looked more closey at Ralph. “Still not sleeping?<\/p>\n

“Still not sleeping,” Ralph agreed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, who to tag? Who reads my blog that hasn’t already been tagged?! <\/p>\n
